Sometimes you win a match but then you don't win obviously. It's cricket, the games 5 days long and it ****ing rains.

Sometimes you win a match but then you don't win obviously.

If anything it's the opposite.

Winning is subjective until it is objective. Cribb understands this because of his political affiliation.

I guess if you betted on the other team you could win money, but lose the game. Hence winning but not winning

 

[Athlai]

You guess wrong.

Ties with wibbly-wobbly endings are probably the closest outside extremely fortunate (or unfortunate) rain.

Excellent match "winning" innings for the Aussies by the SA no. 5

 

[Athlai]

Not rain affected but FMD Gavaskar scoring 179 runs on day 5 and India come within 10 of winning. At 3-389 chasing 438 you'd have to imagine they would've fancied themselves something fierce

They had balls to spare mate. All the time in the world.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Gavaskar 221 and 96, Kohli 149 and 153, Sachin 136 come to mind

 

[GIMH]

Ben Stokes @ Lords last year obv, unless it doesn’t count due to the fact it was a moral victory

This concept appeared years ago, as these posts show:

Hoopers 178 against Pakistan in 1993 was a mach winning marathon. Put 130 with Courtney Walsh for the last wicket. Yes folks, Courtney Walsh it is.

Except they didn't win the match.
