Where are we 140 years later?

Test cricket has gone through all sorts of transformations since 1877

but it has never lost its ability to be the most magical of all sports :-*

Sir Tim Rice gave the Bradman Oration at the Adelaide Oval

He finished by saying that for him :

T20 was a one-night stand

the one-day game a three-week fling

Test cricket [color=blue]a lifelong love affair :-*

"It was a long time in the field and credit to India, they played beautifully.

Pujara and Saha batted exceptionally well.

It was a long time in the field, so credit to our boys the way they came out today

after having such heavy legs and spending that time in the field,

to still be able hold out for the draw."
