	Test cricket
		Test matches are played only between national representative teams which have test status as determined by the International Cricket Council, though the closely related first-class cricket involves domestic matches.
		Test cricket's competition structure has evolved somewhat idiosyncratically due to the length of time matches take, its status as one of the earliest professional spectator sports, and the wide geographical distribution of the teams.
		The first test match was played between England and Australia on March 15, 1877, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia with the creation of the famous "Ashes" trophy in 1882 after Australia easily beat the Marylebone Cricket Club team (which was not a Test match, interestingly enough).

		Test matches are a subset of first-class cricket, the form of cricket played over several days and officially declared as First Class by the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians.
		Similarly, a series of "Test matches" played in Australia between Australia and a World XI in 1971/72 are not considered to have Test status, nor are the Supertests organised by Kerry Packer as part of his World Series Cricket enterprise and played between Australia and Rest of the World teams from 1977 to 1979.

	List of Test cricket records - Wikipedia Mirror
		Cricket is, by its nature, capable of generating large numbers of records and statistics.
		Test cricket has been played since 1877 with essentially the same rules as are played today, and therefore many comparisons can be made of teams and individuals through these records.
		This record is shared by Englishmen Monkey Hornby, who took one wicket without conceding a run in the 28 balls he bowled, Wilf Barber, who took one wicket without conceding a run in the 2 balls he bowled, and New Zealander, Bruce Murray, who took 1 wicket with no runs conceded off 6 balls.

		As of 19 August 2004, the record score for a batsman in one innings in an ODI match is 194 runs, and the highest team score in an ODI is 398.
		In Test cricket, more runs are usually scored in an innings because there is no limit on the number of overs that may be bowled in an innings.
		The record for the highest number of runs scored by a batsman in a single Test innings is held by Brian Lara, who scored 400 runs not out for the West Indies against England at St Lucia.

		Javed Akhtar later went on to become a Test umpire and was involved in one of the major cricket controversies of late 90s when he was alleged to have given at least 8 decisions in favor of England in a close match.
		In the 1st Test of their four test series against England, which was won by England by 8 wickets, Foley made 2 runs in each innings and became the first Kiwi batsman to have got dismissed in Test Cricket.

		Records from 1863 have been found of an organisation in Cheltenham that is believed to have been the forerunner of Gloucestershire CCC, which had definitely been founded by 1871.
		Wally Hammond, who still holds many of the county's batting records formed part of an occasionally strong inter-war team, although the highest championship finish during this period was second in 1930 and 1931, when Charlie Parker and Tom Goddard formed a devastating spin attack.

		Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene made 374, the fourth highest score in Test cricket, and played the major hand in the highest partnership yet recorded in the first-class game - 624 - with Kumar Sangakkara (287) as the home side took as commanding a position as any team has ever known in a Test match.
		Given how well both men had struck the ball for so long it was ironic that the runs which carved their names into history were byes, but nobody seemed to care.
		A Nicky Boje delivery slid past Mark Boucher and disappeared to the boundary, creating both a Test record and an all-time first class record as the names of VS Hazare and Gul Mohammad, who posted 577 for Baroda against Holkar in the 1946-47 season in India, were eclipsed.

		His is the most precocious batting talent in international cricket, and he is rated by many as the leading exponent of the art, although he has yet to statistically fully justify that mantle.
		His shrewd cricketing brain has enabled him to develop into a very effective bowler in the "slog overs" in one day cricket, as he stretches the use of variety to its extremes.
		Statistically his Test record is tarnished by his early tours, but he is very much a speed merchant now, having been compared with Allan Donald for sheer pace during his 1995 stint with the English county of Gloucestershire where he took 87 wickets.
