There is a lot of Test cricket going on around the world at the moment, and the cover of our August issue reflects that. England v India is proving riveting. We also write about the World Test Championship final between South Africa and Australia at Lord’s… asking if the Proteas’ success can be a springboard for a Test renaissance there. We also look at the case of Nepal, asking if they can become the next, 13th, Test nation… and if they do, will they be the last?

Also in the issue…
• David Gower takes Rod Bransgrove for lunch; Hampshire’s chair hits out at the ECB
• George Dobell says it’s time to end the Kooka-bore-a experiment
• Mike Brearley discusses the temperament shown by master batters like Viv Richards

• Jarrod Kimber analyses the extraordinary Test run-chases in Leeds
• Nick Friend picks out some ones to watch in the One Day Cup
