Yayy! Yes, test cricket is the absolute best.
Btw, I don't know if you remember / watched the old BBC series, Bodyline? I was rather obsessed with it (and thought Don Bradman was the hottest thing since sliced bread)!

I have seen bodyline! Not the first time round but it was on BBC iPlayer classics at one point I think. I think Windies and S Africa still get fairly decent crowds, but in Asia all the money is in limited overs so there's the draw. I do hope the novelty wears off though, because test cricket is far better!
