Best Pencils For Scorers
« on: March 06, 2014, 02:21:46 PM »
Our old boy is in crisis now that he can't source plastic tipped Berol Venus HB pencils... Don't mention 'biro' for pity's sake - we all know the 'red ink' is added afterwards - don't mention Ikea either...

this thread has surpassed the "best Trousers" thread.

Maybe you can explain to your scorer what a computer is?

I used the CricHQ app last year too, but for the club records, we stuck with the book.

Maybe he needs a big pencil that he won't lose, or have to worry about it running out:



Now to go create the "best counters for umpires" "best sunblock for gingers" and "best pinny for tealadies" threads :D
