Murali Destroys Bangladesh
Look at these numbers:
1st innings Bowler O M R W Muralitharan 14.5 6 28 6
2nd innings Bowler O M R W Muralitharan 21.0 5 54 6
Well, O=Overs, where an over is a set of six bowls (pitches in Baseball speak) - a guy bowls 6 balls from one end and then they switch to the other end and another guy (can't be the same as the first) bowls another 6. M=Maiden, an over in which no runs are scored. R=Runs allowed. W=Wickets, or the number of guys he got out. So this guy accounted for 12 of the 20 outs in the two innings that Bangladesh batted for.
LOL! His team won, but no bowler gets the win. He did have the best numbers, so I guess you can say he got the win. This guy, on the other hand, would take the loss for Bangladesh:
Those do look like numbers...what on earth could they mean? Is it some sort of code? I am perplexed.

ReplyDeleteDoes this mean he won or lost?

ReplyDeleteI like baseball where you get a final score like 4-2. That i can follow.
