I don't like the Aussie's scoring system where they put the wickets before the runs.

I've been watching a few late night matches from Australia before and for a good few seconds thought "fuck me, 4 down without scoring." :lol::oops:

Anyone know why Australia adopted "wickets before runs"?

If it was in the US I would say it was just to be different, but I doubt that is the reason here.
