There was a time, when cricket matches were played over 6 days - 3 days of cricket followed by a rest day, and then 2 more days. They were called test matches.
Players behaved like gentlemen. The umpire's decision was final. There were no TV reviews or 'snicko-meters'. If a fielder didn't take a catch cleanly, or stepped over the boundary rope doing so, he signalled it promptly to the umpire.
There was fierce competition, but no sledging. Batsmen appreciated a good ball by an opposing bowler. Fielder's appreciated a good stroke by an opposing batsman. A maiden over was applauded by spectators.
Test matches are still played - over 5 days. But they often finish in 3 or 4 days. Why?
