Cricket Test Scorecard

This is the scorecard as the Marylebone Cricket Club printed it across the first half of the twentieth century: serif numerals in black ink, ruled into a tabular ledger and set on an off-white card that rests on the deep grass green of the Lord's outfield. The famous egg-and-bacon club stripe — yolk gold and bacon red — runs as the only ornament a gentleman's card permits. Everything else is restraint: even rules, true alignment, statistics that speak for themselves on the open field.

这是马里波恩板球俱乐部（MCC）在二十世纪上半叶印制记分卡的样子。黑墨衬线数字 按表格规整排开，落在一张米白色卡纸上，而卡纸又安放在罗德板球场那片修剪齐整、 深沉的草地绿之上。唯一的装饰，是俱乐部那条著名的「蛋黄配培根」条纹——蛋黄金 与培根红。其余一切皆克制：均匀的线、精准的对位，让数字在开阔的球场上自己说话。
