Book Synopsis

''[a] compelling book Test cricket is hanging on. It''s a worry'' Graham Gooch

''Huw Turbervill is the ultimate passionate polemicist for the Test format with a zeal that manages to weave both George Orwell and Basil Fawlty into his arguments'' David Gower OBE

''As cricket expands into ever more formats and franchise leagues, more and more voices are to be heard; but the editor of The Cricketer should always be listened to'' Scyld Berry

The editor of The Cricketer goes on a soul-searching journey to discover what the future holds for Test cricket.

As T20 grows like Japanese knotweed, Test cricket is in mortal danger. White-ball tournaments mainly T20 and T10 are now sprouting in places like the US and Saudi Arabia, and Test cricketers are commonly being offered all-year-round contracts by IPL owners, allowing them to play short-form tournaments in the West Indies, the UAE and elsewhere.
