Test Match Cricket : You beauty!

Teams overcoming a large first innings deficit and winning. Batsmen adapting to the conditions by playing very cautiously. Fast bowlers producing great spells to rattle the batsmen. Spinners toiling away for hours, casting their webs and waiting for the batsmen to fall into their trap. Out of form batsmen striking form by showing a lot of application. Batsmen getting struck on the head and heroically returning to bat. The game being played hard, but still within the limits of gentlemanly behaviour.
Test Match cricket is back at last! Where have you been darling? I really missed you a lot.

I must say that i agree with you wholeheartedly....test cricket is the best way of entertainment...but only if you have the eyes and mind to enjoy it.T20 may be the IN thing today, but i think its just short time fame...i mean a test victory is always remembered for more duration and with more respect than t20...whatsay
