Scorers

Become a Scorer

Scoring in cricket matches involves two elements – the number of runs scored and the number of wickets lost by each team. The scorer is someone appointed to record all runs scored, all wickets taken and, where appropriate, the number of overs bowled. In professional games, in compliance with the laws of cricket two scorers are appointed, most often one provided by each team.

The scorers have no say in whether runs or extras are scored, wickets are taken or overs bowled.
