Going to my first cricket match tomorrow (Day 1 of the test match between Australia v Pakistan).
Got absolutely no idea what do expect.
It starts at 10.30am.
What about breaks? What time and for how long?
What time can I expect Day 1 to finish?
Need to know, so I can plan the rest of the evening.
Apologise for the (perhaps) silly question, but I've seriously got no idea! And I didn't manage to find anything on Google.

Normally in England, the timetable is as follows, so I would expect to take 30mins off each time
Each day is 90 overs...
11am Start of Morning Session - 2 hours 30 overs (using 15 overs per hour as recommended pace)
1pm Lunch break (40 mins)
1.40pm Afternoon Session - 2 hours again 30 overs
3.40pm Tea (20min)
4pm Evening session - 2 hours again 30 overs
6pm Stumps (Close of play)
Hope that helps, have a great day and take plenty of sun cream!
So I guess it will finish around 5.30pm then (if it starts at 10.30am).
Not sure why Boxing Day cricket is so big.
Normally there's around 90-95k at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
But what makes the Boxing Day cricket so special?
Oh well, I guess that I to a cricket fan sound just like my wife sounds to me, when she asks me about football.
Never been so bolloxed ever.
There was a pyramid in front of us of pint pots.
Ended up in some swanky quayside bar at 6pm bar able to stand, watching the end of days play.
Great Days!
;-)

Blimey mate, you not been around for a while. Wondered what happened to you!
No drinking while watching the game eh? ;-)
Have a good day.
Left London for NZ in May 2007 (since left NZ for Melbourne, where I plan to stay)
Yes, plenty of drinking, although their Carlton beer at the "G" doesn't taste as good as it (almost) sounds like
Delayed Merry Xmas and I hope you have a good one too
I left before lunch. Rather watch it on the telly in the pub.
A long time ago that I've been this bored, I must admit.
I guess I just don't understand the game.
have you moved oop north?
I love test cricket. Absolutely love it.
Took me a bit of time to really understand, but now that it clicks, it's soooo good (and even better when the Aussies lose).
Twenty20 however...pfffft, silly stuff.
Been back to London 3 times since and last time (Sept 2011), I was lucky enough to watch us against Scunthorpe (the other two times, we've played away to Preston or Exeter and I couldn't justify the train trips, due to a short time in London).
Prob won't be back for another 1 1/2 year or so though.
Hope life is treating you well.
