• It is desirable to get the batting order from the captain or coach, butdo not write this batting order down in your book, as it will sometimeschange. Write in the batters name only as they come out to bat.• If your team is bowling and you don’t know the players very well, it isworthwhile asking the captain who the opening bowlers are likely tobe and what they look like, before they go out onto the field — thatgets you off to a good start.Handy hintBy all means have something to drink while you are scoring — in fact, itis a good idea to drink plenty of water throughout the day — but becareful with drinks in lightweight containers too close to yourscorebook, as accidents do happen, especially on windy days.You might also keep an eye on players who come to look over yourbook during breaks, as dripping drinks and saucy hamburgers also posea threat!JuniorsJunior cricket generally has some different requirements concerningbatting orders, so consult the Juniors section on page 49.12Queensland Cricket Scorers Association
Getting to know the playersOne of the challenges in scoring is getting to know the names of the players onthe field, especially if you are new to a team or club, or you are scoring acarnival. It helps if you get to know most of the players in your team and theopposition scorer knows most of their players, but it will also help if you canwork out ways to identify the opposition players as well.Many players will look the same when on the field and wearing their whites,especially batters when they are decked out in pads and helmets. Concentrateon getting to know the distinguishing features of players, and keep a note ofthem in the scorebook or on your team list next to the player’s name (in pencilso you can erase it later). Binoculars are useful to work out who is who,especially if you are some distance from the action.As a suggestion, the following lists provide helpful ways to distinguish batters,bowlers and fielders.BattersWhen differentiating batters, the aim is to be able to easily identify the twocurrent batters. It is easy to identify batters if one has a blue helmet and theother a red helmet, but then when a new batter comes in, they may both havethe same coloured helmet, so you must find other characteristics. A number orname on the shirt is by far the easiest way, but most teams are not so obliging,especially at cricket below the representative level, so it helps to look for otherfeatures:• Height – is one batter particularly tall or short?• Build – is one batter particularly thin or stocky?• Shirts – is one wearing long sleeves, and the other short sleeves?• Are they left- or right-handed batters (see page 15)?• Headwear – what colour are their helmets or caps, or is one batting in afloppy hat?• Hair – do they have long or curly hair, easily seen even when wearing acap or helmet? Do they have a ponytail?• Accessories – what colour are their bat handles? What colour are theirpad straps (e.g. dark, red, striped)?• Complexion – do they have a light or dark complexion?• Stance – do they have a distinguishing stance (e.g. a very open stance)?13Queensland Cricket Scorers Association
