"The length of the game — a match can last six or more hours a day for up to five days in one form of the game — the numerous intervals for lunch and tea, and the rich terminology are notable aspects which can often confuse those not familiar with the sport."
There are different types of cricket matched played across the world. The main ones are
1. ODI(One day international) – As the name specifies that last for a day(approx 7 hrs)
2. Test matches – I think these are the matches you were talking about. It can last upto 5 days according to the performance of the teams
3. 20 – 20 matches – The latest addition to the cricket are the twenty twenty matches which is gaining huge popularity because of the shot duration. They will get over in little over than 3 hr. References :

Traditionally there were 4 day – even 5 day matches. Now 1 day matches are very popular.
We used to bunk school — take lunch with us to watch match day after day or till we we were caught.

Test matches last 5 days. This is often not the case if one team wins before the end of the full five days.
One dayers last about 7.5 hours to 8 hours. It could end early if one team wins before the full 100 overs have been bowled.

Short answer : Up to five days for a TEST match, ie cricket
in its natural and prefferd form; One day matches are 50
overs bowled per side, but slow blowling rates lengthening
the game are penalised; 20/twenty games are a new idea with
a shorter version of the game using 20 overs bowled per
side and special rules to make for a faster more high
impact game.
Good Luck

Normal Duration for ODI's:
Avg 13 overs = 1hr
So 50 overs = 4hrs and 15minutes.
Break-1 ( Drinks after 15 overs ) = 5 minutes.
Break-2 ( Drinks after 32 overs ) = 5 minutes.
Break-3 ( Lunch after 50 overs ) = 40 minutes.
Total time taken to complete 1 & 2 Innings including lunch hrs is = 9hrs and 30 min.
