Test Match Cricket Betting

Almost since Cricket Betting began test cricket has been the form of the game that all players want to excel in as it is the hardest to do well in and therefore is the ultimate test of a players ability. This form of the game is played over 5 days with a minimum of 90 overs each day with each team getting to bat twice. Therefore to win at test match a team must bowl out the opposition twice.

Betting Background

Test cricket betting has many options with selecting the series winner a very popular one, as this will give you an interest throughout the three, four or five test matches in the series. Then there is betting on the individual test matches, with each test match having many different markets to bet on.

Of the test match betting markets there is the highest runs scorer on each side, the runs the team batting first will score, the runs per session, who will be next out, and how the next player will be dismissed.

Test cricket betting is a marathon not a sprint like One Day Cricket Betting and this should be remembered as the game can go some time before anything happens, so one must have patience and not get restless and get out of your position to quickly.

Cricket and particularly the test version of the sport is something of a speciality sport and a good knowledge of the game is important as this will allow you to second guess how a pitch will behave on day three and four and how the weather will impact the ball movement and so on.
