I assume they need a result after the 4 (?) days of play or they share the trophy?
Just seems silly playing in that way if thats the case.
it's a 5 day game. They brought in a bonus point system a few years back in the case of a draw. It's rather complicated.
The Home Team used to get the Trophy for a Draw but that just meant they prepared a flat pitch and played for a draw most of the time.

Carried his bat for 46.
Fair enough to bat sensibly early on, but he never even tried to up the scoring rate when he was running out of partners.

Yanks taking up pretend cricket
Read some more about this. It's all Indian expats financing it of course. I've also seen that the USA is the 3rd biggest overseas market for Australian cricket rights, after India and England.

They're putting it on for 9 days leading into the IPL. The novelty will wear off pretty quickly.
Plus they've still got the munters IPL going on.
