Ask Bearders #182 3:09pm on 22 Nov 2008 I am an Englishman currently plying cricket in Australia, and I was shocked last week when a local came up and told me I was filling in my scorebook incorrectly.

I am told that Australians mark a wicket with a x, and wides with a W - whereas I was always taught the other way round in England.

What is the 'accepted' international convention - and why has/when did this difference arise?
