You still wouldn't be close if you doubled that number.

What match and year did he do this in?

I think its Travis Friend of Zimbabwe.
He did this against India.


Or even if the answer is wrong it was against India.

The current question is about the longest match ever. zmario's has been disqualified.

Time for a clue, a bit of a cryptic one though......

If the number of days was converted into a year, it would have something to do with Santa Claus.

The match itself was played around the time of the French Revolutionary Wars, if that helps.

 

[icyman]

oh ...okay,
Then i would hazard a guess at 105 days(given its double than 45)

Double that, and it gets a bit closer.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest cricket match ever played took place over an 11 day period.

 

[icyman]

so doubling 105= 210

And i get a bit closer by putting in 227 days.

That's probably referring to the longest test match, which lasted 10 days+2 rest days.

so doubling 105= 210

A bit closer yes. Still nowhere near though.

Santa Clause...

Days: 537?

 

[icyman]

and when and where did this match take place ?

 

[andrew_nixon]

Santa Clause...

Days: 537?

Where'd you get 537 from? That's actually too many anyway.
