Sometimes that happens but Test cricket is capable of providing twists and

momentum changes in a way that very few other sports can.

A good test match is unbelievably gripping sport and even the duller ones provide the sort of calming background viewing that you can dip in and out of which is really enjoyable.

For me anyway.I appreciate why others may find it dull.
