Our 1st team scorer is female. She was an ex junior player, that switched to scoring when she discovered whites would ruin her make up, hair and style. Lol

We have a good bar, and decent BBQ set up, plus 7junior sides, off which they are well integrated into all forms of cricket.

So every game there are wags, milfs, sisters, daughters galore........

You should visit us next season wooly... Could do with a handy allrounder ;)

Beach.. Sandy, dirty,full of idiots

Cricket - nice sunbathing area, free wine, natter...

Hum.. I'd say number 2 should win out unless they are 'surfer dudets'. Not losing the sun and gaining free drink..

Back to the topic, sorry...

It should go on the scoreboard and this is usually the batting score as that is the one that gets checked more often, the bowling only gets checked at the end in my experience.

How do you play cricket with no scoreboard? Thankfully our league dictates every game and ground should have one.

And don't mention money, for £50 quid, for some wood, hooks and paint you can make a simple one easily.

Our competition rule says "if a discrepancy is evident at the end of an innings the batting total shall be regarded as being correct and the bowling analysis adjusted accordingly".  So there you go Number 4, your opposition can dispute the result all they like but will get nowhere if the batting didn't add up to the required score.

Well we use a bat, some stumps, a red hard thing called a ball, a pitch and 22 players

Even without a scoreboard any captain worth his salt knows the status of the game and information fed to the boundary riders by the twelfth man helps as well. We don't need to pretend we are about to crack it into the national team just because we have a scoreboard.. Certainly not a necessity to play a game of cricket.

Guess what? We don't do tea's either... I just don't know how on earth we get through a whole game of cricket with no scoreboard AND no tea's

Teas I can understand.. Tbh, they should be at the end or not at all and sack off the mid game break. Scoreboard though is pretty important.. Twelfth man running around but no scoreboard?? Very odd

Yeah but it helps with the original problem.

Goodluck, hope you are awarded this win. Whether it be buy a few runs, or 50 odd.

When I was injured last season I took the responsibility of scoring for our 2nd team. (The 1st team have a "professional scorer" and the other 5 teams struggle between themselves).

As I was taught to score almost as early as I started playing I was shocked when the other team genuinely were clueless in some games.
As well as doing a full coloured pen job in our book, I was virtually filling theirs in too.
I've also ended up scoring the other teams book while my team were batting as they didn't even provide a scorer!

As the 2nds were promoted the league states a scorer and umpire must be provided so this hopefully won't happen again.
