    I have long been puzzled by the word “Test” being used also. Best I can figure is that a Cricket match is a test of of the players know how to play correctly and a test for the fans in watching a whole match.

      a test for the fans in watching a whole match

      I’d fail that test SO hard! A single match takes up to five days with 6 hours of play each day!

      That’s two and a half times as long as the LOTR extended edition, for ONE match of inbred baseball!
