	Test cricket
		The longest form of the sport of cricket, and regarded by players and serious fans as the ultimate test of playing ability (as compared to one-day international cricket).
		However, with the entry of more countries into Test cricket competition, and the desire to maintain public interest in Tests (which was flagging in many countries with the introduction of one-day cricket), a new system was added to Test match competition.
		Test cricket is played over five days, with three sessions of two hours (usually interspersed with a 40-minute break for lunch and 20-minute break for afternoon tea) per day.

	CNN/SI - Cricket World Cup '99 - Notebook: England coaching job; sacrifice speed - Saturday June 05, 1999 12:31 PM
		English cricket is in a slump, in both popularity and form, after the national team -- the hosts -- were eliminated from the World Cup in the first round.
		There's no doubt the national cricket coaches' job is one of the toughest in English sport but there's no shortage of volunteers wanting to replace Lloyd.
		But both captains preferred their bowlers to follow the example of Glenn McGrath, who sacrificed speed to snare wickets to spearhead Australia's 77-run victory over India at the Oval on Friday.

	The Hindu : Magazine / Columns : Cricket's true spiritual home
		Cricket first came to India with decorous English gentlemen idly pursuing their leisure; it took nearly a century for the "natives" to learn the sport, and then they played it in most un-English ways.
		Everything about cricket seems to me ideally suited to the Indian national character: its rich complexity, the infinite possibilities and variations that could occur with each delivery, the dozen different ways of getting out, are all patterned for a society of infinite forms and varieties.
		WRITING this in the midst of the English cricket team's tour of India, I am reminded yet again how often I have thought that cricket is really, in the sociologist Ashis Nandy's phrase, an Indian game accidentally discovered by the British.

	BBC NEWS Have Your Say Fed up with the cricket coverage?
		While cricket may be of only marginal interest north of the border, It's the number 2 team sport in England, coupled with the fact that Australia (Their biggest sporting rivals)had won this particular contest every year since 1987, and it was obvious it was going to garner such a huge reaction down south.

		In Australia, too, cricket was at first very much a game that recreated a piece of England in her colony - the first match of 1804 involved officers and crew of HMS Calcutta on cleared land named after London's Hyde Park.
		Inevitably, the attention cricket attracts prompts the retort: "It's only a game." It is, but those who wish to believe that is all cricket is have not paid attention to its history wherever it is played.
		The same applies to those who wish that cricket were separate from politics, religion, culture, class, race and caste; their interplay has always been part of cricket.
