Test Match Practice

What should I do to be fit enough to play a 5-day test match? 80 overs for 5 days would be usually considered overtraining, wouldn't it?

Is it okay to play street test cricket for long periods, or are there workouts I should try?
 
Re: Test Match Practice

In what comp are you gonna a 5 day match with 80 overs a day in Switzerland? If you do, that'd be sick!
 
Re: Test Match Practice

That's a massive question. The short answer is get strong in the gym, do lots of interval training and play lots of cricket.

If you are working up the standards you will start by playing 1 day cricket, move to 2 day then 3-4 day and finally 5 day anyway. Build up your strength and endurance slowly over time. There are no shortcuts.
