What are the key pieces of information?
Do you understand everything? The answer to this in most cases should be ‘no’! You’re not expected to understand the technical terms. You need to be comfortable with that situation: you may have to listen to something in IELTS which is a new topic or generally quite difficult… but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to understand the most important pieces of information. If you understood that there are three different formats of different length, you’ve done very well.
Each of the formats follows the ICC’s set of rules and regulations. regulations recognise
Like many sports, cricket will continue to evolve…. evolve

Introduction to sentence completion
- As usual, be sure you read through the instructions carefully: make sure you stick to the word limit.
- Read the incomplete sentences in the question paper before you listen. Predict what you can: not just the possible content for the answers, but also their grammatical form (Do you need a noun? An adjective? etc.).
- Underline any key phrases in the sentence, and listen out for paraphrasing or synonyms related to them.
- These are sentences – not notes – so, as Sally says, remember what you write has to make the sentence grammatically correct.
- Write what you hear: use words from the recording.

These didn’t have a limit of five days and in theory they would always end in a result, with the possibility of a draw removed.
‘Timeless’ test matches were not restricted to ………………… / These didn’t have a limit of five days
I didn't catch the answer in a third sentence as 'were not restricted to 'was replace by "it didn't have a limit"to 5days.Thats why I have missed it.
In future I should remember that some words could be replaced by their synonyms.
I found the task pretty challenging, actually. I failed to catch the answer to the 1st question( during the 1st listening.
If such tasks typically involve listening about something very specific, such as cricket in this case, many candidates will be failing, I think.
It was sooo difficult! I lost track of what I was listening for. I couldn't write an answer...lols. I listened twice. 2nd time I got the first two answers because I was focusing but the last answer eluded me. I'm in shock at how difficult this was. I should say though that the voice was very interesting to listen to and I liked the information that was being shared. I love Cricket! What can I say? This could be why I was so unfocused on the answers. Scary nonetheless...
