Test Cricket Betting at Canbet
| Consisting of two innings per team contested over a maximum of five days, test cricket is both the most demanding and purest form of the sport. Differing from the shorter One Day International and Twenty20 formats, test cricket is a battle of patience, strategy and endurance – a marathon in comparison to the sprint of the modern formats. The first ever official test match was played between Australia and England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in 1877. The test was the beginning of the greatest rivalry in test cricket – The Ashes. Canbet offers cricket betting odds on all international test cricket series, with Live 'In-Play' Betting available on selected cricket matches. |  |
The Ashes Series
Dating back to 1882, the Ashes is the greatest rivalry in test cricket. The series was born when Australia defeated England in the United Kingdom for the first time. The media labelled the defeat the death of English cricket – "the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia". The subsequent series, England touring Australia, was marketed as the 'quest to regain The Ashes'. Today The Ashes is contested biennially over a best of five test match format.
India vs. Pakistan Cricket Rivalry
While the Ashes may be the greatest rivalry in test cricket, India vs. Pakistan is by far the fiercest. Fuelled by their once shaky political relationship and the fanatical following the sport enjoying in the two countries, there was a time when each encounter demands almost battlefield like importance. Relations have improved and today the nations enjoy a friendly rivalry that still attracts a television audience over 1 billion per game!
ICC Test Championship
Run by the International Cricket Council, the ICC Test Championship is a system that ranks test playing nations on their performance in all test series and matches. Points are awarded via a mathematical formula taking into account the strength of each competing nation, each side’s current rating and various other criteria.
