The Australian men’s team wants Test matches to continue to be contested over five days, amid speculation they will be played across a four-day format in the future.
A reduction in the length of men’s Tests by even one day would be a dramatic overhaul for the game, but the International Cricket Council is reportedly considering using four-day fixtures as part of the World Test Championship from 2023 onwards.
Cricket Australia (CA) had already raised the idea of adopting an abridged version of the traditional format and the fact the national men’s team has won all four of its Tests so far this domestic season with a day to spare may add to its growing interest.

Wait, is sib trying to cover his blushes by pretending this thread was about the 2nd test in the Pom series? I feel another apology thread coming on.

Stokes brings up his 50 off 34 balls.
Sibley marvelous.
Stokes gone.
5/310. Lead of 356.
Going to be an 8-overs a side game in Sydney.
I am beginning to suspect sibeen of barracking for England…

Yep this 20 over stuff takes way too long, they’ll probably settle on say 5 overs a side with organ music between balls.

I wonder if it is possible for a pressure wave to be generated even if the ball misses the edge of the bat by a couple of mm; and for that pressure wave to register on the stump mike on RTS.

It probably needs the Mythbusters with an accurate and repeatable ball trowing robot and a super slow motion camera.
But Alas, they are no more.

If the mike was very, very sensitive you may pick up something but I suspect it would look nothing like the frequency of a kookaburra meeting some willow.

That’s interesting.
My immediate response was that sounds highly likely.
But my knowledge of what actually happens in that situation is probably even less than sibeen’s.
