A whitewash is an informal term in sport describing a game or series in which the losing person or team fails to score. A whitewash may be in a single game where the loser fails to score any points or goals, or in a series where the loser fails to win a game. In the United States, the former is more usually called a shutout. It is not typically used for certain games such as association football or baseball, where a failure to score is very common; in football the winning team's goalkeeper is said to keep a clean sheet if they do not concede a goal, while in baseball the winner pitches a shutout. ==Cricket== In cricket, the term is used when one team wins all the matches played in a particular series; some examples include: * England's 3–0 defeat of Australia to win the 1886 Ashes series. * Australia's 5–0 defeat of England to win the 1920-21 Ashes series. * Australia's 3–0 defeat of England to win the 1979-80 Test series. * West Indies' consecutive 5–0 defeats of England in 1984 and 1985-86. These two results are also commonly labelled blackwashes because of the dark skin of the West Indies players. * Australia's 5-0 defeat of the West Indies in 2000-01 to win the Frank Worrell Trophy * Australia's 5–0 defeat of England to win the 2006–07 Ashes series. * Australia's 3-0 Test victory, 5-0 One Day victory and 1-0 Twenty20 victory over Pakistan in Australia in 2009-10. * Bangladesh defeated New Zealand 4–0 to win 5 match ODI series (One game was abandoned) in October 2010 and 3–0 to win 3 match ODI series in November 2013. New Zealand was touring Bangladesh. These two matches were labelled "Banglawash" as the language of Bangladesh is Bangla and "Bangla" often used among locals for the things made in Bangladesh. Bangladesh defeated Pakistan 3-0 in 2015 when Bangladesh were hosting Pakistan. * England's 4-0 defeat of India to win the Pataudi Trophy during India's tour of England in 2011. * Australia's 4-0 defeat of India to win the 2011-12 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. * India's 4-0 defeat of Australia to win the 2012-13 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. * Australia's 5–0 defeat of England to win the 2013–14 Ashes series. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Whitewash (sport)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
