Explanation

The Timeless Test between South Africa and England in 1938-39 was left drawn because the England team had to catch their boat home. This was before air travel was standard, and ship schedules were inflexible. The match lasted 9 days but had to end so England could depart. Train and flight options weren't relevant in 1939.
