00:00581 overs, total 19811 runs, world record of cricket, 43 hours and 16 minutes match.
00:19There are crores of cricket fans in our country, who are eager to know every update about the match,
00:24no matter how long the match is, the fans don't care if it's their favourite team or if the match is on a very interesting mode.
00:36Because they are only interested in what's going on in the field.
00:41But if we ask you that you are a cricket fan, then for how long can you watch a match?
00:48Maybe your answer will be, maximum 4-5 hours.
00:51Or if it's a test match, and if it runs completely, then 5 days.
00:55Now anyway, this test match of 5 days has not been left, because the results come earlier.
01:00But do you know, when was the longest match in the world?
01:05Do you know the story of Timeless Test?
01:07That match, which was not even taking the name of ending.
01:11Don't know? So let's tell you.
01:13If we talk about the most popular IPL in the country, then it's A to Z in about 4 hours.
01:20Means the game is over.
01:21The test match also does not run for its fixed time, i.e. for 5 days.
01:25No one wants to play for the draw, and wants to win the game as soon as possible and go back.
01:31But it is difficult to believe that a test match ran for about 2 weeks, i.e. for about 12 days.
01:44The year was 1949.
01:46This was the time when the match was going on until the results came in the world of cricket.
01:51The date was March 3rd.
01:53This day was played Timeless Test match.
01:56South Africa and England were face to face.
01:59This match started on March 3rd and had to be stopped on the evening of March 14th.
02:03That too in helplessness.
02:04The story of this match was written in 12 days.
02:07That too incomplete.
02:08Because this match was unresulted.
02:12In 12 days, the players got 2 days of rest.
02:14A total of 581 overs were thrown in this match.
02:17A total of 1,981 runs were made, which is the world record of cricket history.
02:2315 wickets fell in the 10 days played.
02:25A total of 6 wickets were hit and 10 half wickets.
02:33England made 654 runs before the match was over.
02:36This score was the biggest score in first class cricket on the 4th.
02:40England needed only 42 runs to win on the last day.
02:44That means if England was on the field on the 13th, they would have won.
02:48But unfortunately this did not happen.
02:50Because England had to return to England.
02:53That means England's cricket team had to go back to their country.
02:56England's ship was about to leave Cape Town.
02:59And for this reason, the England team had to leave to catch the train that evening.
03:04That's it.
03:05The match was dropped with a lot of discussion and mutual consent.
03:09South Africa lost 10 wickets by playing 203 overs in the first round and scored 530 runs.
03:20Then England played 118 overs in the first round and scored 316 runs.
03:25Then Africa scored 481 runs in 142 overs in the second round.
03:30And England got off the crease and lost 5 wickets by playing 218 overs in the second round and scored 654 runs.
03:38That's it.
03:45Well, this is the story of the biggest match in the history of cricket.
03:50But now the story of the world's smallest test match in cricket.
03:54And the special thing is that England's name is also associated with this match.
03:59This match was played in 1998.
04:02This match was being played in Sabena Park, Jamaica.
04:05West Indies and England were face to face on the field.
04:07But the match had to be cancelled after the first wicket of 10 overs and 11 overs.
04:14On the first day, due to its dangerous pitch, England's players had to go back to the pavilion from the field to be treated again and again.
04:23As a result, the test match was cancelled after 61 wickets.
04:28This was the first day when the test match started.
04:31This smallest test lasted for about 66 minutes.
04:35There was hope that the match could go on.
04:37But the players lost.
04:40In the match, England's team won the toss and decided to play the first ball.
04:44The balls of the batsmen were continuously hitting the pitch and directly injuring the England players.
04:50Because there were already many cracks on the pitch.
04:53The English team's physio, Wynnie Morton, had come to treat the players on the field six times.
04:59Finally, after the first game of 11 overs, Mike Atherton went to the umpires and said that continuing the match is not less than any risk.
05:08After this, there was a discussion again and the game was cancelled.
05:12By the time the match was over, England had lost 3 wickets and made 17 runs.
