if you really want to know:

a cricket match which has started (ie has not been "abandoned" before a single ball was balled) and ends without a result is a "draw"
a "tie" is the result if both teams have scored he same amount of runs when the team batting last loses the last wicket

england finally broke the draught lasting 10 test matches
winning against india at home
can england manage to win the current series?

there is more dynamic in chess...

People do realise there is now a very short version of the game, played quickly, short breaks, which has become the most popular version of the sport now, due to peoples short attention spans of course. A lot more action packed, batters forced to make quick score in short space of time.

Of course the long version of the game is still the best, crap for spectators but its the true test of the athletes.

The the OP England are just back to their usual existence test match wise. What I find disappointing is India, do not think they take the long form of the game seriously any more, too busy cashing their IPL cheques, which hurts the sport.

Yes

T20 is the only way to cricket.

I occasionally go to see my home team, even though they suck at cricket.

But we're pretty good at everything else though so can't really complain.
