List of Test cricket records
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of Test cricket records; that is, record team and individual performances in Test cricket. Records for the short form of international cricket, One-day Internationals, are at List of One-day International records.
Cricket is, by its nature, capable of generating large numbers of records and statistics. Test cricket has been played since 1877 with essentially the same rules as are played today, and therefore many comparisons can be made of teams and individuals through these records.
