100/0 or 0/100

Which way do you prefer/think is the right way for a cricketing total to be stated in a cricketing score?

I live in Australia & state my cricketing score/figures as 100/0 but some Aussies believe that 0/100 is the right way & also that the bowling figures are stated this way too!

How do you feel?

100 for 0 - only Aussies do it the other way.

Doesnt make any difference though does it - unless a wkt falls straight away and its 1-0 or 0-1

bowling should be should be 6/16 and runs should be 340/5. Aussies just think they're cool.

So does Darrell say

500,000 for 0 or 0 for 500,000

Either way, it means NOTHING for Darrell!

Then the score you are looking for is '2-0' or '0-2'
