Cricket senses

Are the cricket senses not just the broader sense of points in a game? After all, we don't have separate senses for the score in tennis, even though that has its own unusual numbering. Equinox ◑ 03:18, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Especifically

I've never seen the word especifically anywhere else than here. Is it a mix of especially and specifically?—157.157.125.10 21:40, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Possible missing sense: 20 pounds sterling, 20 "quid"

We have the sense "a weight of twenty pounds" but I've read somewhere that it might also mean 20 pounds in currency. However (probably since I'm not a Cockney doing shady deals on street corners) I haven't actually heard this to confirm it. Equinox ◑ 06:17, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
