Why Does Australia Show Wickets Before Runs on Cricket Scorecards?
While watching the broadcast of the Ashes Tests from Australia did you notice that cricket scores are exhibited in a different way. For example, a score of 100 runs for the loss of 3 wickets is generally written as 100-3 in most of the cricket playing countries but in Australia it shall be shown as 3-100, i.e. the wickets displayed first, instead of the runs. Why do they do so or why are they following this tradition of writing scores in reverse order?
The man responsible for this Australian tradition of writing scores in the other way is former Australian cricketer Ned Gregory. He was an excellent player but remained ‘one Test wonder’ after having played in the first ever Test in Melbourne in March 1877. He scored 11 runs in two innings.
