The rate of Draws in Tests

[Lokomotiv]

Could you tell me the rate of draws in Tests?

The rate of:

1st to Bat Team's win
2nd to Bat Team's win
Draw

 

[srbhkshk]

Team batting first wins - 35.7%
Team batting second wins - 31.8%
Draw - 32.5%

The proportion of draws has declined dramatically in the last few decades.

There were more draws in the 1960s than the 2010s, even though the number of matches increased by 121%.

Team batting first wins - 35.7%

You have included ties within your draw %.

 

[trundler]

You have included ties within your draw %.

2/2355 though

 

[srbhkshk]

You have included ties within your draw %.

I know they are way more exciting and memorable but technically they are the same results imo.

 

[trundler]

A draw is no result. A tie is a result in which neither team wins.

 

[Lokomotiv]

Have there been how many draws which finished before the end of 1st innings?

I expect the number of draws to decrease more due to the Test World Championship causing more matches between the stronger and weaker test teams and the impact of T20 cricket on the quality of test match batting. Also more matches between uneven teams will make batting first less relevant in the result.
Against this could be a move to 4 day test matches which I hope does not happen.

If I was confident of weather I’d really want 4-day tests. In fact I still want them.
