Hip hop.

I am an American that discovered cricket while visiting South Africa during the 2011 World Cup. I try to watch as much cricket as I can given the time differences between the States and the countries where cricket is actually televised. Given that I was introduced to ODI cricket it has always been my preferred format. That said, I am perplexed by the appeal of test matches from a spectators perspective. I think I understand the importance of test matches from a fans perspective (the history, the bragging rights) but find it hard to imagine watching that much of any sport especially given that it appears to be much slower.

So test match fans, please enlighten this uninformed foreigner on the ways in which you joyfully digest countless hours (days) watching test matches.

Edit: Thanks for all the passionate and descriptive responses.

Edit #2: I really want to thank all of the folks that constructed incredibly thoughtful responses to this post. The love people have for the game is incredible. I am already sold on investing some time into test cricket. Y’all are awesome fans.

I’d personally have liked to see the reactions to and the shitposts following the 1999 SA vs Aus semi final

My eyes are a bit sore now but I’ve always been fascinated by pitch illuminations

You know the random stats were always bombarded with, eg "Nathan Lyon is the first bowler to take 3 wickets against a left handed batsman on home ground in 8 years"
