There is different variations, mostly different numbers of overs per team.
The World Cup which just finished earlier this month, was One Day International (ODI) format, which has 50 overs (300 balls) per side. Obviously, teams have to play more conservative, or they will be all out before using all their balls. One game takes something like 6-8 hours.
Test Cricket, has an unlimited amount of overs, and each team bats twice. The game is played over a maximum of five days. If the game is not complete by the time limit, the match is declared a draw, no matter which team is ahead, or how far they are ahead. In order to prevent ties, a team can declare their innings over, without being all out, and that often happens. Teams can play ultra conservative.
