HOW TO SCORE cricket

cricket - Get into a regular routine. In basic scorebooks always record in THREE PLACES from the top of the page down.
It is very important to ALWAYS record what happens in the same sequence and we would recommend from the top of the page to the bottom: i.e.: Runs to the batsman or sundries, runs off the score and runs to the bowler.
Remember there are several ways to add to the batting team’s total score: i.e. runs made by the batsmen, byes, leg-byes, no balls, wides, penalties, and of course, it is possible to have no score at all off a ball.
We will show you a simple scoring method for each of these in the course of the manual.

3.1    NO RUNS

1.    Just a dot in the bowler’s box (analysis.)
2.    Dot against the Batsman. 
i.    This is most important to assist the coach know when to retire batsmen during their first time at bat.  (i.e. U/13’s minimum of 30 fair deliveries – do not include wides or no-balls (unless the no ball has been scored off by the batsman).
ii.    If the batting team is still in its 1st inning and have not been dismissed and a retired batsman returns to the crease he does not have to be retired.

3.2    RUNS

1.    The striker hits the ball and the batsmen run and change ends. Each of these actions is worth one run to the striker – if they run three you record three runs.
2.    Record One (1) (or two or three) to the batsman being the striker who has hit the ball.
3.    Mark or cross One off the score (Cross through one of the squares provided).
4.    One (1) in the bowler’s analysis – if it is his first over it will be in the top square of over number one for bowler number one.
3.3    FOUR BOUNDARY RUNS
(refer diagram of Umpires’ signals)
This occurs when a ball hit by the batsman touches or crosses the boundary line or fence. The Umpire will signal four runs. You must acknowledge this signal and then record four against the batsman, cross four off the score and four in the bowler’s analysis.
Note: It is possible for the batsmen to RUN four runs on occasions in which case the umpire will NOT signal as the ball has NOT crossed the boundary.
You still record four runs as above. Some scorers like to record four and sixes in a different colour but that is up to you.
Special Note: You must always record according to the Umpires signal – even if you think a boundary has been scored and the Umpire has not signalled four you must only record the actual runs completed by the batsmen. This also applies for a six which may have been signalled as a four.
(Refer Law 19 – Laws of Cricket). You may check with the Umpires at a suitable time (intervals and breaks in play) to clarify a situation.

3.4    SIX BOUNDARY RUNS

(refer diagram of Umpires’ signals)
This is for a ball which lands OVER the boundary line on the full. Score as for fours but obviously add SIX in all three scoring areas.

3.5    SHORT RUN

(refer diagram of Umpires’ signals)
If the umpire gives this signal, the batsmen remain at the end where they finished the runs and you must reduce the scores by one run.
1.    Record (1) less run to the batsman or sundries.
2.    Record (1) less run to the cumulative score.
3.    Record (1) less run to the bowler.
