Note
A regular plural that belongs only to the countable uses of partnership. The state of being associated with someone, as in working in partnership, has no plural. What multiplies is the arrangement: business associations of two or more people or, in cricket, the stretches between one fallen wicket and the next. Each cricket partnership carries its own run total, so a team's partnerships are counted in runs.
