are statistic-mad. Most cricket clubs have historical records going back fordecades listing such golden nuggets as the highest 10 th wicket partnership inSec<strong>on</strong>d Grade, or the most partnership stands by an individual in a seas<strong>on</strong>in B4 Grade. Therefore, this informati<strong>on</strong> will probably be required by theclub for its end of seas<strong>on</strong> statistics.RememberWhen a batter ‘retires out’ the full partnership details are recorded as forany fall of wicket.When a batter ‘retires not out’, the wicket has not fallen so the partnershipis split (see page 40).Handy hintsPartnership minutes are relatively easy to work out. If it is the firstwicket partnership, then it is simply the difference between the start ofplay and the time the first wicket fell. After that, it is the differencebetween the starting time of the later of the two batters and the timethe wicket fell.In the example shown, if thesec<strong>on</strong>d wicket falls at 10.53,regardless of whether it isFreeman or Parker that gets out,the partnership minutes will be 10.53 minus 10.24 (the time Parkercame in) — in other words — 29 minutes.The l<strong>on</strong>ger a partnership c<strong>on</strong>tinues, the more complicated the timing canbecome due to breaks in play. That is why it is much easier to recordprogressive minutes for each batter <strong>on</strong> your running sheet. That way, whena wicket falls, you can simply take the progressive total minutes of the laterbatter at the end of the previous over, and add the minutes from the startof the current over to the wicket to get the partnership minutes.CatchesIf a substitute fielder (not to be c<strong>on</strong>fused with a substitute player — seepage 66) takes a catch, you must still write in that fielder’s name, but put(sub) above or beside it to identify that it was a substitute.60<strong>Queensland</strong> <strong>Cricket</strong> Scorers Associati<strong>on</strong>
