Sperglord Firecock posted:How can anyone play a game that lasts that long and not get dreadfully tired of it? A good test match will seesaw this way and that, as each side gains the ascendancy then loses it. It's sort of like why some people prefer epic multi-volume fantasy novels as opposed to disposable comic books, I suppose.

Nerdfest X posted:The batsmen line-up: Is it usually best-to-worst as far as batting order? I'm sure certain situations arise where this can change (Player A, our best batter, for some reason has bad luck vs. Player X, the other team's 1st bowler, so lets move him down in the line-up). Ewan's answer is right, but sometimes in a limited overs game you might fiddle with the batting order during the game based on how many overs are left. For instance, if you only have a couple of overs to go and have to send a new batsman in, you might choose to "promote" an aggressive batsman who will score runs quickly up in favour of a batsman who takes awhile to get going. In this case, with so little time left, it doesn't really matter that the aggressive batsman is a lot more likely to get himself out.
