Re: 756
There has been 7 scores of over 800 in County Championship history, the latest were in 2007 season and it happened twice, both at Taunton.
Surely that match was\is heading to a draw, why not try and break the all time record of 887, set in 1896!

Re: 756
Surrey scored 588 first. Leicester declared at lunch on the final day, meaning they had to bowl out Surrey for less than 168 in two sessions to win. They didn't, so match drawn.

Most are in the distant past. Somerset got 850 in 2007 and Jharklnad (India) got 880 this year

Re: 756
A County Championship match lasts four days with breaks each day for lunch and tea, so three sessions each day.
Each side has two innings to score as many runs as they can. An Innings is over when ten batsmen are out.
To win the game you must score more runs than the opposition after all four innings have been completed.
If four innings haven't been completed by the end of play on day four the match is drawn (another word for incompleted).
Days 1-3.5 Sussex scored 588 runs in their first innings and Leicestershire scored 756, declaring their innings over with four wickets (batsmen) gone. This took the game to lunch on day 4. After one innings each Leicestershire had a lead of 168 runs. To win the game*, Leicestershire had to take ten Sussex wickets for less than 168 runs in the two sessions after lunch, meaning Sussex's total score after both their innings had been completed would be less than Leicestershire's first inning score (the remaining inning would not be needed). Sussex scored 220 for the loss of one wicket, so as both innings for each side had not been completed the match was drawn.
*with only two sessions remaining there wasn't enough time for both sides to complete their second innings.

That doesn't seem fair. The team is being punished for being brilliant.

Re: 756
Not really. They know the rules, that four innings must be completed. They were taking a big risk, knowing the pitch was very much in the batsman's favour and the chances of bowling out the opposition on it were slim. It had already given up 1,564 runs for 14 wickets, so taking 10 more for less than 168 wasn't really on. That notwithstanding, it was their only chance of a victory however slight.

Thats a much better term JBB than drawn. The meaning of a draw in football and cricket are quite different.Johnny Byrne's Boots wrote: ↑Fri Jul 15, 2022 11:07 am If four innings haven't been completed by the end of play on day four the match is drawn (another word for incompleted).
