One Hundred and Forty years ago today was when the first Cricket test was played between Australia and England.
The name Test stems from the long, grueling match being a "test" of the relative strengths of the two sides. The first officially recognised Test match began on 15 March 1877 and ended on 19 March 1877 and was played between England and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), where Australia won by 45 runs.
