i'm no expert on cricket, but an ordinary game is "1 baseball inning" with one team running through its "batters" (i don't know cricket terminology except googly) and then the other team running through its batters.

it would be useful to know how long such I game usually lasts—I have attended onesuch, and they did break for tea but it did draw to a close in one afternoon—and what differences there are with this longer format of which you speak.

is it just the additional inning that makes for such an extended weeklong outing?
