Delete. Multiple issues as the article was created by a user (Kesteven Bullet) now known to have been evading an indefinite block. He became subject to WP:BAN this year (see User:Richard Daft). The article is largely unsourced and is in any case a collection of WP:TRIVIA which adds little of value. Daft created it as a spinoff from Variations in first-class cricket statistics which may be regarded as the parent article in terms of the subject-matter. But it is easily merged into the parent as Test cricket is in fact a subset of first-class cricket. An expanded section on international cricket within the parent article has already achieved this and so the minor article is now a duplicate in terms of the few useful points it contains. It has therefore already been merged with its parent and should now be deleted as superfluous and adding no value. --Jack | ^{talk page} 16:35, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
