Five days of intense strategy, interrupted by tea breaks and debates on whether clouds might bring a wicket. Bowlers send projectiles at batsmen, hoping they forget how to hit. Fans oscillate between excitement and deciding what to cook for dinner. Pitches age like fine wine, and players age like mere mortals.
It’s a slow-cooked feast for the cricket connoisseur, a game where patience isn’t just a virtue, it’s the whole point. If T20 is a shot of espresso, Test cricket is an elaborate, satisfying seven-course meal – with rain delays.
