It is frustrating when you go all that way, you train, and you just don't turn up. It does happen. If you play 100-odd Test matches, there's going to be little periods when you don't score the runs.

When I was a kid, my first dream was to play Test matches, and the second one was to play 100 Test matches because there are very few people who have played 100 Tests for India.

Virender Sehwag

To win Test matches consistently you've got to take 20 wickets - yes, you've got to score runs but if you can't bowl a team out it doesn't matter how many runs you score.

Glenn McGrath

I love the multi-format series. Within it they've found a way to retain Test matches and England v Australia in the Test arena, they were always my favourite matches to play in.

Isa Guha

I want to play 100 Test matches for England.

Nasser Hussain

It's something that I've wanted to do for a while, play Big Bash. Unfortunately representing the Proteas for the bulk of my career over Christmas time we've always got Test matches on, the Boxing Day and New Year's Test matches. So I haven't been available.

Dale Steyn

I always want to be known as a good Test cricketer. I believe I have the ability to score big runs in the longer format. For that, I know I have to score heavily in whatever opportunities I get.

Suresh Raina

These days you can play almost 100 Test matches in six years.

Kevin Pietersen

I've been lucky enough to play over 100 Test matches for Australia.

Michael Clarke

It always gives you pleasure when you score runs in Test cricket.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Being an impatient guy, even off the field, I would always look to score runs and score them quickly. Sometimes I panic if runs are not coming.

Gautam Gambhir

Experience tells us that few matches are won on the back of one or two good sessions of play. To win a Test match most teams have to win and outplay the opposition for extended periods of time.

Justin Langer

I like to play test cricket. It is really challenging, because you need to really score runs, stay in the wicket and continue for five days.

Kumar Sangakkara

If you're going to play in all three formats, you can't play all the games. You probably play two Test matches, miss the last one and take some time off and maybe come back for the second ODI or second T20.

Jofra Archer

When I was little, I was always going to the goal. I've always wanted to score and create something, and I think it's always been within me to play offensively.
