Umpire to player signalsThe umpire will sometimes make signals to players during the course of thematch that you should be aware of, as they may assist you. For example, theumpire will indicate a change of bowler to the striker by signalling whicharm is to be bowled with, and whether the bowler is bowling over or aroundthe wicket. This can help you catch changes in bowler as well.1st bouncer in over2nd bouncer in overTapping oppositeshoulder with onefinger and raising onefinger (signalled tobowler and then tostriker).Bowling change (right arm)Tapping oppositeshoulder with twofingers and raisingtwo fingers (signalledto bowler and then tostriker).Bowling change (left arm)Raising right arm and standingadjacent to the stumps – to theleft of the stumps = right armover the wicket, to the right ofthe stumps = right arm aroundthe wicket.Raising left arm and standingadjacent to the stumps – to theleft of the stumps = left armaround the wicket, to the rightof the stumps = left arm overthe wicket.Handy hint24Given the similarity between the signals for start of play, byes andchange of bowler, ensure you view this signal in context – check wherethe umpire is standing and whether he is directing the signal to you.Queensland Cricket Scorers Association
Scoring balls and runsStart of playWhen the players walk onto the field you must be ready as there are anumber of important tasks that must be completed before the first ball isbowled.You need to determine which of the opening batters is facing. This means youmust wait until you see which end the opening bowler is coming from andwhich batter will face the first ball. This batter is recorded first on the battinglist. The opening batter at the non-striker’s end is recorded second.Subsequent batters are recorded in batting order as wickets fall.The bowler bowling the first over is recorded in the first box in the bowlinglist (some books have the bowlers’ boxes numbered, as below, so that wouldbe bowler 1). Subsequent bowlers are recorded in order as they begin theirfirst spell.Basic scoringFreeman will face thefirst ball, with Reed atthe non-striker’s end.Ward will bowl the firstover, and Brown thesecond.When the field is set, the bowler is ready and the opening batter has takencentre and is ready, the umpire will signal time on and the start of the inningsby raising his arm above his head and waving to you. You need to signal back.The game can now begin. You must watch every ball bowled and every ballmust be recorded. It is preferable to ‘voice’ your additions to the scorebookas you add them so you know you and your scoring partner are makingexactly the same entries, or you can then confer if you were making differentadditions (e.g. one of you missed the umpire’s no ball signal).Handy hintDo not be afraid to question your partner’s observations. Even scorersat Test level make mistakes — that is why there are usually two scorers.Queensland Cricket Scorers Association25
