[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1121561, member: 72205"] Test Cricket is the best form but possibly the most impenetrable. Essentially the game is played over 5 days where a team must score the most runs and the opposition must complete both their innings (20 wickets minus decorations). The red ball creates more lateral movement in the air than white ball which means early batters main objective is wear it out the ball before middle order batsman score more freely when it creates less. After 80 overs in an innings the fielding side may replace the ball. Much like baseball it's then a competition between the bowler and batter. The fielding size will then devise plans to gets the opposition batters out. This is typically done by placing fields in a way to exploit weaknesses in a batters technique but also tempting their strengths. The most typical opening gambit is to place many fielders behind the batterrs (slips) whilst leaving dew in front. Encouraging a forward shot looking for the edge of the bat and catching behind. The bowlers attempts to bowl balls that will yield the deried result to the plan at hand. Well 206 words to explain the basics of test cricket. The key thing to note is the length of time combined with requirement to force the opposition to play both their inninging to competition switches from a bat dominated game to a bowling one. Where most value is placed on abtamsan staying in accumulate runs rather than setting massive scored in limited time. England are currently revolutionising this mindset BTW. [/QUOTE]
