Cricket confusion - The Ashes
Cricket confusion - The Ashes
by blingle » Sun Sep 08, 2019 9:09 am
I'm not a fan of cricket, but something's confusing me.
It's currently the 4th test, and Australia have scored 683 runs over their 2 innings.
England have scored 319 runs so far, and there is 1 day left. According to BBC Sport, England need 365 runs to win.
If England score 363, and take their total to 682 at the end of play today, would the ECB be within their rights to complain, and say that because there is only 0.146% difference between the two run totals, Australia should not be allowed to take home the Ashes?

No . . . Unless England win at least one more game than Australia i.e. 20% more in a 5 test series, Australia keep the ashes and things remain the same as before . . .

Aha. OK. That SORT OF makes sense. Possibly.
So England could feasibly win just 1 game out of 5 (20%), and draw the other 4, and would be declared the winner?

It’s really VERY, VERY, SIMPLE for England. Win the series, win (regain) the Ashes. Lose the series or draw the series = Lose the Ashes. ( in the event of a drawn series the current holders (Australia) keep (retain) the Ashes.

If you were confused before, you'll be even more confused now:-
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
Each man that’s in the side that’s in goes out, and when he’s out he comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out.
When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.
Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.
There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game! Howzat

Cricket is about exciting as watching paint drying on a wall
