X, who was Y, was stuck at Z the entire W. (Bruce Edgar), who was (on (102 not out)), was stuck at (the (non-striker's end)) the entire (over). • An “over” consists of six opportunities to hit the ball and score “runs”. (A “run” is the basic unit of scoring.) • "102 not out" indicates how many runs the player had personally contributed to the team's score. The number is large enough to suggest that this was the player who was playing particularly well in that match. So the sentence is saying that the player who could be expected to make good use of whichever of those six opportunities he got, did not get any of them. I think as with most cases of unfamiliar jargon, the sentence can be confusing not because of unusual words but because of everyday words being used with technical meanings ("not out", "end", "over"). | ||
