Can't understand why this match was drawn?

[Jontylee]

Hey guys, so I'm not like a massive fan of cricket or anything so don't slaughter me, but I do enjoy my cricket games and just played my first test in the ashes series, I got England out for 326 in the first innings then batted and got 213. I then bowled England out for 169. I then as I was batting and the 9th wicket fell, I was on 97 and the game ended all of a sudden? There were still 2 days left in the match too so any help would be appreciated thanks

Do you happen to have the end scorecard screenshot? Was any player in your team injured/retired hurt?

Ah..then he probably wasn't in a position to bat and hence the end of innings.

Shouldn't he have lost though?

He should but the injuries messes up the rules.

Yep, but not 100% sure if "the game ended all of a sudden" meant a draw or loss.

Apologies, yeah so I did draw the game in the end, should I have lost?

Yes, you should have lost the game. Lucky you!
