Run (cricket)

A run was the basic unit of scoring in cricket — as opposed to goals in football or other units in other sports. Runs could be scored in a variety of ways. It was known, for instance, that a ball which was hit over the boundary rope earned the batsman four runs.

In the friendly between the Cheldon Bonniface Invitation Eleven and the Doctor's Invitation Eleven in 2010, the Seventh Doctor's side won by just four runs, with a final score of 140-136. (NA: Happy Endings)
