And the SAF draw last summer was only a draw cos FAF played a freakin ridiculous innings to deny the Aussie win....

[whufc]

There is only 4 draws but that is due to sides having to declare in some cases 3 decs in a match.

In those matches how many times has there been a result with at most 1 declaration.

[the wonder elephant]

3 of the 4 draws in the last 7 tests tho .

[Ron Burgundy]

72 tests at AO, with 53 results. There hasn't been a test where both sides have declared...

There have been 6 matches that Australia have declared twice. Five were wins, with one draw.
Traveling teams have never declared twice in a match at Adelaide oval.
Traveling teams have declared on 10 different occasions. Of those the traveling team won twice and lost once (amazing Adelaide)

There has never been an Adelaide oval test with 3 declarations in the match.

The 1998 drawn test was also a nail biter where Mark Waugh made a ton to save the test after knocking the bails off with his hand

[whufc]

I think it also wears the 'boring' tag as the Adelaide test has had a history of being a batathon the first 3 days and doesn't get lively until day 4-5.

Obviously there are exceptions but it seems to be a common theme.
