I am an Englishman living in Tenerife Spain,following avidly the latest Test series in Australia.
One question that I have puzzled about over the years .
Why do the Austrlians score the game in what it appears to be back to front or as follows 1/183
where as the rest of the cricketing world score as follows 183/1
Can anybody give me the definative answer to why only in Australia
