Info

The name of the batter who continues the innings is recorded in the samebox as the slashed player, as it is counted as the same wicket. Thereplacement batter’s runs are recorded on the second line of the slashedplayer in the batting section of the scorebook, and the How out sectionmust be split to show the end of both innings.Handy hintIf a player that you know is to be replaced on the second day comes into bat late on the first day, rule the potential slash in the batter’s list,without actually putting the replacement player’s name in. That way, ifthe slashed player is not out at stumps, you have a neat space to writethe replacement player’s name in. Otherwise it can be tricky fittingboth players’ names in. If the slashed player gets out before stumps,you’ll just have an empty space under the name. Don’t rule up the Howout section until you are sure the slashed player has survived tostumps.Scoring on your ownIdeally you should always score with a partner from the opposition team.However, you may be asked to score on your own. Scoring on your ownrequires more concentration than if you are with a partner. It is importantthat you check that your scorebook balances regularly so that you canidentify any irregularities that may occur early. If you are on your own, it ishighly recommended you position yourself near the batting team or clubofficials so that you can ask for help if any confusion arises. Always checkany points of confusion with the umpire at an appropriate time (i.e. lunch,tea or stumps).68At times you will be scoring with players. Surprisingly, players will risk lifeand limb sliding into the fence to save a run, yet show completeindifference when scoring, where a mistake could cost them the game.When scoring with a player, you should take a leading role. You shouldfollow the advice above, concentrate to a higher level, regularly check yourQueensland Cricket Scorers Association
ook to ensure it balances, and continually compare your book with yourpartner’s to ensure their book is correct and balances with your book. Atthese times, make sure you ‘voice’ all entries you make in your book.If you are scoring with a new scorer, again you will need to take a leading roleand provide assistance to your fellow scorer. It is important in this situationto mentor and provide any help and assistance you can, answer theirquestions and provide advice and instruction where you can. Ensure you‘voice’ all entries you make in your book and take responsibility to ensureyour books balance.As an advanced scorer, you may be invited to score for a media organisationor as an online scorer. In these situations, as you are not the official scorer,you will need to ensure you concentrate at your highest level to catchumpires signals, as they will not be signalling to you or waiting for yourresponse — they will be signalling to the official scorers.In these situations, you will not have a partner to help correct any oversights;however, these games will generally be at a higher level, so there should be ascoreboard that you can use to your advantage, or there may be a member ofthe media organisation’s crew willing to act as a second set of eyes for you tonote catchers or late umpire’s calls, when your eyes may already be down atyour book.Twenty20 matchesYou must be on your toes at all times, as these matches are fast and furious,especially if you are scoring women’s or junior cricket. If you find it difficultto keep up with the pace of the match, there are some shortcuts you can taketo make your (scoring) life easier.• Make sure you have all your match details completed for both inningsof the match, as far as possible, before the start of play, as there isusually only a 10 or 15 minute break between innings.• Keep your running sheet as normal, but there is probably no need tokeep records of progressive individual or partnership minutes, as thereare no breaks, and the innings only goes for 80 minutes. As long as youhave the time in and time out for all batters, you can easily count uptheir total minutes at the end of the innings or match, or during abreak in play (a lot of big 6s are scored in Twenty20, so you might getthe occasional break while they retrieve the ball).Queensland Cricket Scorers Association69
