What a test match !!! and what a platform, Ashes, first test ever in Wales and what a result ! If anyone said T-20 was gaining popularity because of the element of unpredicatbility, Test cricket goes one better because there is no fixed timeline for the end of the game. For the emergence of unlikely heroes, an oustanding performace stealing the thunder, remember the heroics of Anderson and Panesar with the bat. There's this thing about the paucity of time that has made T20 such a hot favourite with the audience but ask any Aussie cricketer/cricket follower today and they would tell you that Test cricket is too short. And for pure entertainmnent value, nothing in the world T20 championship got the crowd on its feet like every delivery that Anderson/Monty blocked.
While the cries for innovation have never been louder across sports, days like today will continue to reinforce the importance of the heritage, and embellish the classics diary.
