The best ones!\n\nThe M nearly got it right but Canada is in the Commonwealth and is not renowned for its cricketing prowess, neither is the Netherlands part of the Commonwealth!!\n\n"The official Test Cricket nations are currently: England, Australia, West Indies, South Africa, India, Pakistan, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and Zimbabwe. \n\nThe West Indies is actually a consortium of Caribbean countries: Barbados; Jamaica; Guyana; The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago; Antigua and Barbuda; St. Kitt's-Nevis; Dominica; St. Lucia; St. Vincent and the Grenadines; Montserrat; and Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique. \n\nMinor cricketing nations (which do not play Test cricket, but do compete for a place in the World Cup One-Day competition) include: Kenya, Fiji, Canada, The Netherlands, Bangladesh."\n\nFrance also has cricketing connections: \n\n"France was one of two nations to compete in the only Olympic cricket event, in 1900. They lost, making them the only nation to lose an Olympic cricket match and the only Olympic silver medallists in Cricket."

Australia with 30\n\nfrom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ashes\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ashes_series\n\n\nA team must win a series to gain the right to hold the Ashes. A drawn series results in the previous holders retaining the Ashes. To date, a total of 62 Ashes series have been played with Australia winning 30, England winning 27. The remaining five series were drawn, with Australia retaining the Ashes four times and England retaining it once.\n\nAshes series have generally been played over five Test matches, although there have been four match series (1938; 1975) and six match series (1970-71; 1974-75; 1978-79; 1981; 1985; 1989; 1993 and 1997). 293 matches have been played, with Australia winning 115 times, England 92 times, and 86 draws. Australians have made 264 centuries in Ashes Tests, twenty-three of them over 200, while Englishmen have scored 212 centuries, of which ten have been scores over 200. On 41 occasions, individual Australians have taken ten wickets in a match. Englishmen have performed that feat 38 times.

Bangladesh was the last country granted test status on the 10th of November 2000.  Zimbabwe gained test status on the 18th of October 1992, they currently have a suspended test status until 2007.  There is a February tour of Sri Lanka tentatively scheduled for February of 2007 between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.\n\nTechnically Zimbabwe have not lost their test status, it is merely suspended, so Bangladesh will remain the last side to be granted test status.  Kenya, Scotland and Ireland are the main contenders for future test status.
