So how did this random cricket match become a Test match, enter Clarence Moody, perhaps the most important man in Test cricket you've never heard of. Moody was a South Australian cricket writer. In 1894 Clarence Moody wrote a book called South Australian Cricket, it was republished after that, and in it he made a list of what he decided to be real Tests. Moody wrote under the blogging handle - although this was a minute or two before blogs - of "Point". And this was like a blogging exercise, I mean it's partially a listicle, I think Moody still works for BuzzFeed. This list by this random writer in Adelaide with no affiliation to either of the MCCs, Melbourne or Lord's, wrote up what became the official list of Tests. The bloke just wrote a book, and they turned the book into cricket canon.
