Matches comprise four innings and are held over a maximum of four days between two of the leading cricketing nations. The rules governing the format differ little from those for the men s game, with differences generally being technicalities surrounding umpiring and pitch size.

Image MCG August 2007.jpg 300px right thumb The first Testcricket match was played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground MCG situated in Yarra Park, Melbourne , Australia, in 1877.

The grounds are listed by country, with the countries listed in the order in which they first hosted a Test match and the grounds in each country listed in the order in which they were first used as a venue for Testcricket. On March 1877, Australia and England played against each other and it became the first official Test match in cricket. 5 day matches between non Test playing countries are therefore not considered a proper Test match.
