Which part of the above brings you to 70 minutes SaffronDon ?
It's clear it's you who is stuck but I'll let you explain to me how 4 x 20 is 70.
80 minutes is 10 minutes more than 70 SaffronDon.
Good luck with that. :-).

Replying To royaldunne: "Yep. :)" To be fair, I'm swayed by that view.

An intercounty match has never been 4 20 minute quarters. Let that sink in.

But you can't compare two 40 minute halves from the 70's to four 20 minute quarters from today.
