| @TheBluesMan. Test Matches are the kinda like the Major League of Cricket. In a Test Match the top International Teams play each other over 5 days, with 2 innings (rather than 9) to score runs in. However, unlike baseball, all 11 players in a team usually bat in each innings and 10 wickets have to be taken, rather than 3, for the innings to be over. Just like in Baseball the innings is the chance to score points - also like Baseball called runs - by running between the two wickets (bases) at either end of the pitch, or by hitting the ball over the boundary (effectively a home run) to score 4 or 6 runs, depending on whether the ball bounced or not before it crossed. So the top test match run scorer is just the player who in all the matches he's played has scored the most runs. |
