Christ, you're as bad as all those people who are all "omg I hope England lose really quickly in the World Cup because I hate football and boohoo".Matt Morrison wrote:I seem to have picked up from my status updates on my FB news feed that England are doing shit. Hopefully it gets worse and ends quickly.

This is the sport of the moment.
They both use the same scoring system.Rhys Benjamin wrote:English scoring or Aussy scoring?
Yeah, but the notation's different. In England they write the runs first then the wickets, in Aus its wickets first then runs (the freaks). Fascinating stuff.Lesley Hines wrote:They both use the same scoring system.Rhys Benjamin wrote:English scoring or Aussy scoring?

(He will look at me as tho this is knowledge I should've been born with, but hey ho )But how can you have 123 wickets?Rhys Benjamin wrote:i.e.
English scoring -
123-4
Aussy Scoring:
4-123
No, Jon, that's Australian scoring. They have the runs and the wickets the other way round, you see?Jon O'Neill wrote:But how can you have 123 wickets?Rhys Benjamin wrote:i.e.

No, Kai, you only have 10 wickets in cricket, and 123 is bigger than 10. Maybe it's super cricket or something.Kai Laddiman wrote:No, Jon, that's Australian scoring.

Nice one?Kai Laddiman wrote: 1 - 0
LIKEKai Laddiman wrote:Yes, Michael, I was referring to the sport Aussie Rules football. It has the scores the other way round, so unlike English football, an Aussie Rules football score might be:
49 - 123
Instead of:
1 - 0
