		Test matches are played between national representative teams which have Test status, as determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

		At various times I have underscored my preference for Test matches as expressly depicting the culture of cricket, that is, its arcane appeal.
		Test matches are played so frequently these days that hardly a decent interval can be found to take stock of the performance of Test-playing nations.
		At the moment, a small breathing space has mercifully opened up before the next dizzying progression of Test matches, and an opportunity to record all the Test-playing countries’ performance in all the Tests they have participated in from their very first game until 1 September 2004.

	Cricket Test Matches - Contributing Batting Averages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		In Part I, we argued that while the Test batting average is not as distorted by 'not-outs' as averages in the limited oversion version of cricket are, it nonetheless contains errors that are significant.
		In Part II here, we propose the computation of a Test Contributing Average similar to the calculation we made for ODIs; the resulting figures, we are confident, are a better representation of the relative performances of batsmen over their careers.
		Because test cricket is a two-inning sport, and because the better performing batsmen bat first in all sides, the not-outs in the long form of the game are a little different than in ODIs - typically, the batsman could have batted on, at least on paper, and compiled additional runs.

		However at the second Test at Edgbaston star bowler Glenn McGrath was ruled out by a freak ankle injury; Ponting put England in to bat on a perfect batting wicket (England scored 407 runs on the first day) and England eventually won a pulsating match by two runs and so levelled the series.
		In the fourth test at Trent Bridge Australia was again outplayed and forced to follow-on for the first time in 191 Test matches and eighteen years.
		Australia needed to win the fifth and final test at The Oval to retain the Ashes but were hampered by bad weather, a strong England bowling performance on the fourth day and fine England rearguard batting (led by Kevin Pietersen) on the final day before the match ended in a draw.

		In the Test arena, however, the variation is not as pronounced, no doubt because of the removal of over restrictions; only a quarter of the spread seen in ODIs is seen in the Test list above.
		Nonetheless, the fact that the top batsmen in the above table have remained not out in around 12% of the innings they played means that there is a need to effect a correction to the individual scores in such cases, to remove the distorting effect of their uncompleted innings on their Batting Averages.

	Cricket World Forums: Most Test Matches officiated by an Umpire
		His first Test Match came in 1988 and we're now into 2005, so far he has been umpiring as an official on the international circuit for (and doing an outstanding job) for nearly 18 years, and he shows no sign of letting up what so ever.
		The research and whatever else is completely independant of the actual method used in cricket matches and even though may have had something to do with the reason for creation (whether it has or not i don't know) it has no effect what so ever on how the system is implemented in match situations.
		This thread was meant to be about matches umpired by officials not about the logistics of the game and the employment rights of umpires and weather some of them get too much sun spending time out there in the middle or what your highest snooker break was.
