An ECB spokeswoman said the governing body were 'definite proponents of the four-day Test concept' last week, but Sportsmail can reveal that Cricket South Africa are opposed to the idea, which will be debated by the ICC's Cricket Committee later this year. Cricket South Africa fear a move to four-day Tests would make draws more likely, encourage negative tactics and pose a threat to spin bowlers. South Africa also play fewer Tests than England, so have less need to create space in the calendar.

Tendulkar Compares Coronavirus Battle To Test Cricket

Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar retired in 2013 Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar has offered an unusual take on the coronavirus fight by comparing it to Test cricket, [https://yasamayavefe.org/index.php/Indian_Shares_End_Higher_For_Third_Day_On_Reopening_Hopes;_GDP_Data... yasamayavefe.org] urging patience and teamwork, and warning "we have to defend well". "While the world battles the Covid-19 pandemic, this is probably the time for of us to draw lessons from the grand old format of the game," Tendulkar wrote in a commentary for The Times of India newspaper. The world record-holding batsman said the virus was "beyond our collective comprehension" but could be beaten with tactics used in cricket's five-day format. "Test cricket rewards you for respecting what you don't understand. It makes you value the virtue of patience," he wrote. "When you don't understand the pitch conditions or the bowler, defence becomes the best form of attack. Patience is what we require now, if we have to defend well." India has reported only three virus deaths and 169 cases but the country is increasingly fearful of the spread of the disease that has killed nearly 9,000 people around the world. Like many countries, it has imposed draconian travel restrictions. Tendulkar, 46, retired in 2013 after scoring 15,921 runs from 200 Tests, and has considerable influence in Indian society. He said all countries must work together against the virus. "To use a cricketing metaphor; while individual brilliance can help a team in shorter formats of the game, in Test cricket it is all about partnerships and teamwork," he said. "Test cricket is about staging comebacks. There is always a second innings, if you've missed the first one." "Different countries are at different stages of their fight against coronavirus," he added. "All nations should consider themselves part of one team." "We shall take this battle session by session, and eventually emerge victorious."
