The first recognised Test Match, between sides from Australia and England, took place in 1877 though there is record of a match between the USA and Canada in 1844. Test Matches are now spread over 5 days with each side having two innings with three results possible, a win for either side or a draw. There can be between 1 and 7 matches in one ‘Test Series’ between the same countries. Matches were not always time limited and the last ‘timeless Test’ took place between South Africa and England in Durban in 1939.
