Between 1975 and 1989 the England cricket team represented England, Scotland and Wales in Test cricket. During that time England played 152 Test matches, resulting in 40 victories, 62 draws and 50 defeats. They faced Sri Lanka for the first time in Test cricket when England toured the country in 1981–82. England did not face South Africa during this period, due to the sporting boycott of South Africa during the apartheid era. The West Indies were the most successful team in Test cricket at the time, and were described as "the undisputed champions" by Tony Becca of ESPNcricinfo; England faced them in 29 Test matches, and did not beat them. England, like many other Test teams, lost some of their best players to World Series Cricket, an unsanctioned competition organised by Kerry Packer. Among those players who signed up for the league, and were subsequently banned from Test cricket, was England's captain, Tony Greig.

England faced Australia most frequently during this period—playing 52 matches against them—followed by the West Indies. England won more matches than they lost against Australia, India, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. Against Pakistan they won four and lost four, while against the West Indies they lost 20 of their 29 fixtures. England won 11 matches by an innings, with their largest victory being by an innings and 120 runs against Pakistan in 1978. Their largest victory by runs alone during this period was in the 1978–79 Ashes series, when they beat Australia by 205 runs in the fifth Test, while they won by ten wickets twice. Conversely, England suffered their second-largest ever defeat by runs alone, losing to the West Indies by 425 runs during their visit in 1976.

Test International cricket, which had been suspended since 1939 due to the Second World War, resumed in 1946. From then until the end of 1959, the England cricket team, which represented England, Scotland and Wales in Test cricket, played 115 Test matches, resulting in 45 victories, 39 draws and 31 defeats. During this period, England faced Pakistan for the first time, when they toured England in 1954. During that tour, they became the first team to win a Test match on their first visit to England. England were the dominant team in international cricket during the 1950s; they did not lose a Test series between March 1951 and December 1958, and featured an array of stars such as Colin Cowdrey, Denis Compton, Fred Trueman, Brian Statham and Jim Laker.

England faced Australia most frequently during this period—playing 35 matches against them—followed by South Africa. England won more matches than they lost against India, New Zealand and South Africa, but against Australia they won seven and lost seventeen Ashes matches, while against the West Indies they won six and lost seven. They faced newcomers Pakistan in just four matches, winning one, losing one and drawing the others. England won 16 matches by an innings, with their largest victory being by an innings and 248 runs against New Zealand in 1958. Their largest victory by runs alone during this period was in 1956–57 against South Africa, when they won by 312 runs, while they won by ten wickets on four occasions. Conversely, England suffered their largest ever defeat, losing to Australia by an innings and 332 runs during the 1946–47 Ashes series.

Test Liberation Suite (sometimes LibSuite) was a Jesus Music era Christian rock band. They originated in San Marcos, Texas but soon moved to Great Britain, where they found their greatest success. Cross Rhythms characterizes the band as having a "special relationship" with the United kingdom and a straightforward approach to music and ministry. Typical of Jesus music, they played songs in a variety of styles including country, new wave, and rock.

Background
Liberation Suite formed early in the Jesus Music era, prior to 1971 in San Marcos, Texas. The group got their start as a backup band for a choral group called Sound 70 based in San Marcos, Texas, but began traveling with evangelist Bill Lowery and the Christ is the Answer tent ministry in 1973.

In 1974 they moved for six months to Northern Ireland, which was at that time war-torn by The Troubles. Here they ran what was essentially a street concert ministry, as well as playing many concerts in schools, colleges, and large concert halls. During this time they also played at the inaugural Greenbelt Festival in England. They then moved to London after being signed to Word Records' Myrrh label. Throughout 1975 the band toured with Malcolm and Alwyn, Barry McGuire, and Jamie Owens. In 1976 they toured Europe with Chuck Girard before moving back to Texas until 1979, when they relocated to Los Angeles.

During a brief reunification period in 1980 they recorded their second album, Stride For Stride, and again toured Europe. 
They moved back to Texas in 1981, members moving into other types of ministry or work, regrouping from time to time for a few concerts or recording. 
Several other versions of the band lineup toured parts of America and Europe, and recorded in 1990–92.  

In 2008 they released Live In Europe, a live concert from 1976, recorded in Sweden.
