Who was killed by Jack the Ripper?

I think given all the breaks and the over rate + average rate of play, about 4.00 pm finish seems about right if indeed it started at 11.00 am [ im fairly sure the match on the 1st Sept started at 11am . However , as you say it doesnt matter either way earlier or later as Steve points out in the Podcast ,he could have technically made it back to London early evening or as late as 10.37PM .

If a match started at 11am and only 80 odd runs was scored from both teams it would have been finished long before 4pm. There would have been no need for breaks. Two hours tops, with a break for innings.

You might wanna listen to the podcast from 26 mins to 28 mins . Its not just the runs scored that that determine the lenth of a cricket match when discussing time estimates, but the amount of overs bowled to score them , as is explain by Steve Blomer.

Quite correct Fishy. This site shows some records of slow innings:

With all due respect to Steven I'll take my neigh on 30 years playing at a semi-professional levels worth of experience.
