The cricket match that ended because of a boat

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorFolks, a cricket match has been running for nine days, and the only thing that can stop it is a boat! A boat!

2. 

   Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe score is out of control, and the whole thing was supposed to take five days at most!

3. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA boat? That can't be real, Rex.

4. 

   Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorIt's a timeless Test, Chip. No time limit at all. It goes on until somebody wins, and nobody has told the boat!

5. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNo time limit. I once spent a whole afternoon in one drive-through lane, so I respect the commitment.

6. 

   Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorIt was supposed to be five days.

7. 

   Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorNine days of play get spread over twelve days, because of the rain, and England are sitting on six hundred fifty-four for five in the last innings!

8. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSix hundred fifty-four. For five?

9. 

   Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAnd they walk away, Chip!

10. 

    Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe England team has to leave on the fourteenth of March to catch their boat home, and the match is abandoned as a draw!

11. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThey left in the middle of a game? For a boat? I would have rebooked!

12. 

    Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThat's Durban, South Africa, March nineteen thirty-nine, per Wikipedia.

13. 

    Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAnd timeless Tests were dropped after that, partly because nobody could predict when a match would finish.

14. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo the boat beat the match that never ends. Did the boat get a trophy?

15. 

    Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorNo trophy, Chip. It just sailed off undefeated, which means a boat accomplished what nine days of cricket couldn't!
