Sire we did lose in cricket however our wins overall are more than India's. The same can be said about hockey as well. Am I missing your point here??
Oh no, your point is one that speaks to me, almost in a personal kind of way.
In Class XI, there were two English prizes awarded by the school, for Literature and for Language. I was in the running for both, as was the first boy of my class, far my superior on the whole, but giving me some room in the matter of English. The English Literature prize was decided first; I lost, since the other chap had more marks in the last (selection) tests than I (in all other tests that year, I was ahead). Ah, well, I had more marks in my selections in Language than did he. The result came out for him again, and this time, it was for whoever had the most accumulated marks in all exams that year! In other words, the most victories, not the last victory.
I get the point all right.
