    Test cricket is a unique game in many ways. Discuss some of the ways in which it is different from other team games. How are the pecularities of Test cricket shaped by its historical beginnings as a village game?             

    Answer:

                    Test cricket is a unique game in many ways and different from other team games. (i) One of the pecularities of Test cricket is that a match can go on for five days and still end in a draw. A football match is generally over in one and a half hour of playing time. Baseball takes to play a limited overs match, the shortened version of modern cricket. Most of the team sports, such as hockey and football lay down the dimensions of the playing area but cricket does not. (ii) Cricket began as a village game and crickets connection with the rural past can be seen in the length of a test match. Originally, cricket matches had no time limit. In the same way, vagueness about the size of a cricket ground is a result of its rural origins.
