Hi guys,
For starters, I must politely ask that this thread not be moved to a different, less-active forum because it is quite important that I receive some feedback on this.
I write about sports for a living, but for the first time in my life I'll be writing about cricket in less than 36 hours and, quite honestly, I know absolutely NOTHING about the sport. It is currently 02:14 am at my current location and I will be writing about tomorrow's Ashes test between England and Australia.
Right now, the score is Australia 570 - 117-4 England. Does this mean that Australia have scored 570 runs, and England have scored 117 so far from their four of 11 batsman?
Also, is this the score for this particular test or the whole series? England, according to my television, trail by 453 (runs?) so, as I said, is this is the deficit for the test or the series?
If you could answer these couple of questions I would REALLY appreciate it.
Thank you.
