On the top of the chart is Steve Waugh with 168 test matches, followed by Allan Border (156), Ricky Ponting (148), Shane Warne (145), Mark Waugh (128), Glenn Mcgrath (124), Ian Healy (119), David Boon (107), Justin Langer (105), Mark Tayor (104), Matthew Hayden (103), Adam Gilchrist (96) and so on.
