Test cricket might have undergone a few changes from the past, but it still remains the pinnacle of the sport

Test cricket is the pinnacle of the Gentleman’s Game and the one format that every player and team aspire to be successful at more than any other. Only the elite teams get to compete against each other and getting that  elusive Test status is what the upcoming associations strive for most.

Even more surprising is the fact that such cases have been witnessed even in contests between evenly matched teams who were expected to go toe to toe with each other.
