9 Acknowledged the signals

Scorer should know all the signals which umpire indicates.

 eg, NO RUNS, RUNS, FOUR BOUNDARY RUNS, SIX BOUNDARY RUNS, SHORT RUN, BYES:

PENALTY EXTRAS, NO BALL, WIDE BALL, END OF EVERY OVER,  BATSMAN OUT (FALL OF WICKET)

9 At the end of the Game

In most score books there are usually places to record the score at the END OF A DAY’S PLAY when it is NOT the end of the innings or the game. You should of course, ALWAYS balance your book at the end of a day’s play even if the innings is not finished. You should also record the number of overs completed, the time play finished and make a note for yourself who bowled the last over and to which batsman. Usually Umpires will make a note of this but if you do not have Umpires sometimes the players will ask you if you remember who was facing last week.

 .

AT THE END OF THE INNINGS: 

1) Add up your byes, leg-byes, wides and No Balls and record the total in TOTAL SUNDRIES.

 2) Add this figure to the total batsmen’s runs and record the total in the box marked TOTAL SCORE. This figure should agree with the cumulative total as crossed off in the squared section. 

3) For each bowler write in the appropriate boxes – total overs bowled, maidens, wides, No Balls, wickets and runs. 

4) When you add the runs for all the bowlers and write beneath it the total of byes and leg-byes you should again balance with the cumulative score. 

5) Total wickets taken by bowlers PLUS other dismissals (eg run outs) should equal the number of batsmen out. 

6) Total overs bowled should equal the number you have filled in at the right hand overs /runs section. The Umpires will usually come and sign the book and check with you that you balance. Don’t be afraid to ask the Umpires if you are unsure of anything – how someone was out etc. This is the only way you will learn and Umpires are a wealth of information. They will always help you if you ask politely and they are eager to have as many competent scorers as possible. It makes their job so much easier.
