A continual series of 5 Test Matches each of 2 innings between England and a variety of opponents from around the world. A single match starts at 08:00 LCT (local computer time) and plays till completion on that day. All the teams are unique with players remaining on the same side each with individual strengths and weaknesses.

You have a window into the virtual world in which these matches take place and whilst watching the Tests in progress update regularly. As this is conducted in LCT the matches should progress at the same pace and to the same conclusions anytime anyplace anywhere.

Previous results may be reviewed but the future is locked in uncertainty. The first match was played on 5th October 1997.

AUSTRALIA

Solid and steady openers No 2 is the team's biggest hitter and safest at the crease but close on his heels is No 1. The mid order is a healthy mixture of good hitters that gradually tail off saving some of the talent for the closing pair.

ENGLAND

Safe but slow scoring for openers followed by 3 of the most reckless big hitters in the game. Sanity is restored by the mid order often the team's salvation with safe run makers. The team's talent is boosted by Number 11 at the end.

EUROPE

Despite being a team of mixed ideals they have a remarkable strength in the mid order and the tail enders.
