| If you're interested in this sort of thing, some analysis of how long test matches tend to last. https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/anantha-narayanan-the-duration-of-tests-across-history-and-the-feasibility-of-four-day-tests-1215504 I've been on the fifth day of a test match plenty of times, always enjoyed it and it's a lot cheaper to buy a ticket. That said, I remember one time being really surprised to see that tickets for the fifth day were being sold when tickets for the first 4 days went on sale, and thinking to myself what idiot would buy those tickets. Turned out the fifth day was a real thriller, and you couldn't get tickets for love or money, and I felt the idiot! |
