Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

[SJS]

Were they Palm leaves? And did they lay them down one way for the first team, and then turn them up the other way when the other side scored?

I really have no idea, I'm just trying to confuse you with Aussie logic

NO

But I will give it to you and tell it since you got the leaves bit and 50% of a guess at the country.

They put leaves into a hat to mark the runs scored.\
When the other side came into bat, they started taking the leaves out of the hat.
When all leaves were gone, one run was needed for a win !!
If the innings ended before the leaves did, the winning margin was the number of leaves left in the hat !!!

I told you it was quaint

Your turn.
