Description

We are looking at how to handle the team's wicket count. In our PA data feed, we have two ways to get this number:

- innings => wickets (The official scoreboard total)
- innings => fallOfWickets.length (Counting the items in the Fall of Wickets history log)

Usually, these two numbers are exactly the same. However, they might mismatch during certain edge cases, based on what I found googling this, an example is, if a batsman is Retired Out, the official score increases by 1, but no physical entry is added to the Fall of Wickets history log.

To make sure our UI behaves exactly how you want it to, could you confirm:

For the main score display: Should we trust the wickets value or the number of fallen wickets?
