Default Re: The ashes - fifth test time

OK. Too change the analogy. Imagine that instead of having 9 innings where 3 guys have get struck out each time, you have 2 innings where 11 people must get struck out 5 times each. So each innings you need to strike out 55 batsmen effectively. After 35 people have been struck out team 1 has x home runs. For certain levels of x, certain teams, certain weather conditions etc. you couldnt be confident who was winning.
