When not a single ball was played for five consecutive days in Test cricket
Afghanistan vs New Zealand Greater Noida Test: It rarely happens in the history of Test cricket that not a single ball is played for five consecutive days in a match. The match between Afghanistan and New Zealand which is going to be held in Greater Noida at present is also going to be included in that list. This has happened only a few times in the history of Test cricket spanning more than 100 years and now it seems that the time has come again to repeat history. Before this, the last time this happened was in the year 1998.
Afghanistan vs New Zealand Test was to start from 9 September
The Afghanistan vs New Zealand match has now reached the fourth day. The match was supposed to start on September 9, by now the picture of the match should have become quite clear. One team would have strengthened its hold on the match. It is also possible that the match would have ended, because many times the result is decided on the third and fourth day in a Test. Till now it has happened only seven times, when no ball was bowled for five consecutive days in a Test match and the match was cancelled, now this match could be the eighth match.
In the year 1890, for the first time in Test cricket, such was the condition of the match
This happened for the first time in the year 1890. At that time the teams of Australia and England were face to face and no ball could be bowled in the match. After this, the same thing happened in the England vs Australia match in the year 1930. Both these matches were to be held in Manchester, England. After this, something similar was seen in the Australia vs England match in the year 1970. In the year 1989, no ball could be bowled for five consecutive days in the New Zealand vs Pakistan match. This match was held in Dublin.
Same thing happened in India vs New Zealand Test
Something similar was seen again in the year 1990. This match was to be played between West Indies and Pakistan in Guyana, but it could not happen. This happened twice in the year 1998. For the first time it happened in the Pakistan vs Zimbabwe match that the match was declared cancelled without even bowling a ball. This match was to be held in Faisalabad, Pakistan, i.e. this happened for the first time in Asia. The same year, this was again seen in the India vs New Zealand Test in Dublin. This match was to be held in Dublin.
It happened for the last time in 1998, it will happen for the first time in India
This has never happened since 1998. But now this series seems to be breaking. The special thing is that this will happen for the first time on Indian soil, although Team India is not a part of this match. If we talk about Asia, then this will happen for the second time. We have already told you that for the first time this happened in Faisalabad, Pakistan in the year 1998. Although the Afghanistan vs New Zealand match has not become a part of this list yet, but it is expected that another match will be added to this list on September 13. It remains to be seen how the weather remains on the fifth day in Greater Noida.
