about "test" and "oneday"...

Lying on my bed(read mattress), watching the bowler churn out overs after overs and the batsman ducking under it or leaving it altogether as if it was never coming and the scorers finding peace from work, I thought what it was all about in test match cricket....?...and I had to find the answer from myself as I always had stood by it and felt for it....was it really boring, mundane, grim...? what about the excitement of a closely contested one dayer....the blitzekreig, the flsahy strokeplay...but as it was, it was just the beginning of the test and it had my eyes glued on the final day as one team tried to save the match while other one was desperate for 1 single breakthrough...and it did not come....through application of a few batsmen and the grace of rain-gods...so what about the prospect of all the men inside the inner ring...all circumventing the batsman as starved sharks waiting for a ship to sink...(bad one ..?)...anyway...and the prospect of throwing in your best bowler for an endless spell and hence increased pressure on the batsman for a long duration...what about the sheer duration of time...the focus..the concentration...the committment...and the resolution...thats the depth and width of test cricket which one dayers cant match....obviously, ill contested and dead tests can be very irritating...but if there is at all a contest,its pure delight...
