Set yourself upArrive at the game in plenty of time. Find a comfortable place to set up (thescorers should get the best seat in the house!).• Shade is most desirable — you may have to move a few times as theshade moves, but make sure you let the umpire know you are moving.• Visibility is much better when the sun is behind you rather than youlooking into the sun.• For good visibility, try to get as close to the boundary as possible (butnot right on the boundary!)Introduce yourself• Introduce yourself to your scoring partner and write their name downsomewhere on your scorebook or in a notebook.• Introduce yourself to the umpires, and also write their names downsomewhere on your scorebook — there is often a specific place for this.• Find out from the umpires the clock they will be using for times, orsynchronise your clock with the time they will be using.Scoring diplomacyAlways remember that you usually have another scorer from the opposingteam sitting right next to you. Scorers are usually nice people and only toowilling to help ‘train’ a novice scorer, so don’t be afraid to ask questions.Alternatively, if you are an experienced scorer working with a beginner, bepatient, be helpful, but also let them find their own feet.Many people take up scoring because of a connection with a particular team,e.g. a child or a partner. Regardless of how we all got here, we all develop aclose association with our team, but remember — you are a link between yourteam and the opposition, so be diplomatic.Don’t be too parochial – keep your pleasure or pain in relation to the game toyourself. Don’t get too excited if your team is dominating. Keep in mind thefeelings of the other scorer. Don’t get too concerned if your team is facingdefeat.10Prepare your book• Familiarise yourself with the scorebook. They are all similar, but thereare many different styles. Your scoring partner could possibly have ascorebook that differs from yours.Queensland Cricket Scorers Association
• Write down the details at the top of the page — these details should bewritten at the top of each page for each new innings of the match.Depending on your book, the match details would be made up of (seeimage below):- the names of the two teams playing – the home team is shownfirst- the ground the match is played on (e.g. Allan Border Field)- the days the match will be played over (e.g. 3 November 2010 if aone-day match; 3 & 10 November 2010 if a two-day match playedon consecutive Saturdays)- team batting, which innings it is (e.g. 1 st or 2 nd ) and the date theinnings started- the name of the competition or the name of the match if a one-offmatch- the team that won the toss- the team batting first- umpires names- the two team captains and team abbreviation (e.g. C. Simpson(Q)- the wicket-keepers for each team (sometimes teams will changetheir keepers during the innings. Watch for this and make sure younote any catches taken by the replacement keeper as ‘wk’)- the two 12 th men (in many levels of cricket, there will be no12 th men, but see Substitute fielders on page 15 and Substituteplayers on page 66 for more information in this regard)- scorers names.• Obtain a list of your team from the captain (in batting order if possible)and keep it handy for you both to see. You should have a list of theplayers in both teams, with captains and wicket-keepers noted.11Queensland Cricket Scorers Association
