Won by Australia: 129 (40%)
Won by England: 104 (32.3%)
While England has won 25 fewer tests than Australia it can console itself by being placed 15 ahead of Drawn

Re: The Cricket Thread: Second Innings
I should like to understand cricket--not least to ensure I've gotten all the jokes in Life, the Universe and Everything--but I think being an American (even with a little English heritage), I'm genetically incapable of it. The scoring system is only out-weirded by that used on QI.

Yes, well, that's not how they actually report scores now, is it? Like the recent Test Match between Bangladesh and South Africa, the BBC reports 246-8 and then calls it a draw.
