What's up with the rules restricting where fielders are allowed to play? Do they really think that scoring runs is too dificult in this game?

Also, the 30 hour time limit seems somewhat arbitrary. Why not just let them keep playing for as many days as it takes to finish?

In test cricket, if the bowling team is defending a target that is so small that they don't think they have a reasonable chance of winning, why don't they just bowl unhittable balls until the match is declared a draw?

As for one day cricket, the game length is determined by the number of overs (balls), instead of the number of wickets (outs). What prevents the bowling team from just delivering 300 unhittable balls. You would never get anyone out, but you would still end the game without allowing any runs.
