The gentleman’s game, as cricket is popularly known, has changed a lot over the years. It used to be slow and long, stretching over five days with plenty of breaks for meals and rest. But the modern versions are completely different (and much quicker).
Now, cricket matches are faster, more TV-friendly, and easier to keep fans hooked.
Their runtime depends on the format being played. T20 games are over in about three hours. ODIs take a full day. Test matches stretch across five days, with breaks in between. T10s, the quickest version yet, are done and dusted in under two hours....
