A test match lasting several days is rightly a "test" - of tactics, stamina, coping with shifting fortunes, match play - in fact, the highest form of cricket. One might say, if one were a mouldy fig, that the one-day matches and other forms have, in point of fact, debased the game...

What I do object to, is playing any form of the game in anything other than whites. Harrumph!
