What is a Cricket Score?

[HeatherAda]

It was mentioned a lot today in the commentary of the Badminton XC.

Can someone share their knowledge please?

It means a really high score. Like in cricket where innings are up in the hundreds because cricket lasts forever.

Basically the riders they were referring to must have got a lot of penalties!

in cricket the score is in the 100's which is good as you've had loads of runs. not so good if you're eventing cos you'll then have loads of penalties through time faults, stops, falls, dodgy dressage etc and will not win!!!

aha! thanks you two

I jus heard that phrase for the 1st time watching it on TV and almost feel off the sofa laughing.

Well I figured out it wasn't complimentary but couldn't work the link out. Now I know!

Obviously it doesn't refer to the English cricket team these days....

But I think it does
80 penalties for event = bad
80 runs for criket team = bad
