Special cases in the Laws (*rules*) of Cricket, and to constantly qualify every sentence in this description would interfere with This by phrases such as "generally" or "with a few exceptions not worth going into here", but there are many minute exceptions and Some of the statements are not 100% correct, because the idea is to state the general principles, not the exceptions and special cases. This account has been simplified in order to give the basics of the game of cricket. When a cricket term is first explained, it is put in quotation marks (""), which are generally not used when the term is further These terms correspond, but they are not equivalent, and the baseball term should not be used as a replacement for the cricket term when discussing cricket. Occasionally, when a cricket term is explained, its corresponding baseball term is given in parentheses and stars afterwards (*like this*). And since those in the USA and Canada are often familiar with its cousin, baseball, it seems useful at times to make comparisons or contrasts to baseball in this explanation. My current thoughts are that starting as a scorer from scratch my be easier with the box method, and club teams require this method anyway, but once experienced linear looks better.Since nearly the entire civilized English-speaking world, except for the USA and most of Canada, is familiar with cricket and does not need this basic explanation, it is assumed that most of those who can profit from this explanation are citizens of the USA or Canada. At the end of an over, or at a suitable break, summaries of bowler, batter and extras are calculated. Various leagues around the world utilise variations of this method, but they all work on the principle that a ball, or the result of that ball, goes in one place at the time it was delivered, as opposed to the ‘box’ method where three marks are needed (batter, bowler and tally).
All quite complicated and requiring neater writing than I have. He then had two summary sheets onto which he would put bowling and batting summaries.
He also detailed his methods in BBC Armchair Cricket books, available via Ebay and second hand book shops.īill had a main sheet on which he scored the detail of matches, run by run with a comment on each run, for example the area of a wagon wheel that a score was struck would go above each ball. However, score books that detail the tours that he went on as a scorer can be purchased, these contain all of the linear sheets he used and are a good reference, if not the most thrilling of reads. While he was alive he ran a site that would sell sheets and instructions, but that now seems to have gone by the wayside. Bill Frindall is the man that I first heard about linear scoring from, on the radio with TMS.
