World Test title could be decided by "timeless" format not used since the 1930s

The International Cricket Council plans to make the final of the Championship of the world in 2013 a "timeless" Test Test, providing an unlimited period of play to determine a winner in the General ranking.


The last timeless Test was held in Durban in 1939 and was abandoned as a game after the play of nine days because the England team had catch a boat from the House.


The format may not survive to the resumption of Test cricket after the second world war because of the problems it caused with schedules and financial complications for reasons of test staged matches for an indefinite period.


The first Test World Championship, which will include the first four teams in the semi-final and final competition ranking, is scheduled to be played in England. It will be held in the summer, a series of ash, which means that it is likely to be played in early summer when the weather could ruin a five-day competition.


The proper functioning of the first Test Championship is crucial for survival in the long term of a competition, the hopes of the CCF will ensure the future of Test cricket, which this week will be clock place his game 2 000e when England meet the India to the Lord.


"They [an ICC Committee] are research in mechanics," said Haroon Lorgat, Chief Executive of the ICC. "The final could be a timeless Test, but it is a work in progress." We still have to decide how you determine a winner if there is a draw. I would prefer a winner because you want that it is the champion of the test. »


England will become team of head of the world in Test cricket if they beat in India by at least two Tests. It would almost certainly guarantee their presence in the 2013 Championship, whose current ranking would exclude in Australia, who have slipped to fifth on the ladder.


The India is the best team in Test cricket since 2009 and proof of their strength in the game of the world will be presented in the course of this series even if their team fail to perform. Political influence of the India assured that no there is no redirects for the decisions of the IPN because the resistance of its Board of directors against new technology.


Earlier this month, the ICC confirmed as obligatory control of umpire system for Test cricket. Hot spot thermal imaging technology will be used in all the series, but ball-tracking gadgets will be in operation with the agreement of both parties.


Further negotiations between the India, England and the ICC have now completed with the agreement that not even the thermal detection gadget Hot Spot will be used for the decisions of the IPN, which means that if a batsman thinks he hit the ball but he gave the front leg, it will not be able to overturn the decision.


The fact that broadcasters will use the Hawk-Eye tool will highlight errors.


The ICC and the England and Wales Cricket Board, supporters of the technology, as strong will be quick to blame the Indian cricket authorities.


"I am disappointed, it will not be used," said Lorgat. "I am strongly in technology and we have invested considerable time and money in it." It is disappointing that something which worked not be used because if return us the basic principles of DRS, which is to avoid an obvious mistake, it is what he was doing.


"Unfortunately, there are some people who were concerned about the accuracy of tracking ball and it is our responsibility to prove that it works."


The ICC has commissioned independent research on ball tracking technology to try to convince the India it works but perhaps the most persuasive argument would be if Sachin Tendulkar has been released this week on 99 wrongly IPN and thus deprived of his 100th hundred international.


"That the technology is exactly what the eye, but with a degree of precision," said Lorgat. "There is more chance of good technology as the umpire." It is just the obvious mistake we are trying to eliminate. »
