Cricket Scorers Untallied
#43 Double Double, Toil and Trouble. Fire burn and scoreboard bubble.
In which, Sue, Jules and Brian are joined by a plethora of scoreboard operators to contrast how scoring differs when operating a scoreboard.
Covered by the discussions are: Fancy scoreboards/replay screens at club level; Magic tricks to make rain go away; Kiss cam; How boards are driven; When to play replays; Pre-match nerves; Scoring priorities; Out of season preparation; Alternative uses for a scoreboard; Scoreboarders' helpline; Scorers names on scoreboards; Manual scoreboards; High drama at Lord's.
Cait asked for more cameras and when is a bug not a bug? Jane questioned what sport they were playing. Mike had to be identified by location. Cait and Steven admitted to being part of a coven!
With thanks to Mike Birtwistle (Emirates Old Trafford), Mike Turner (Cheltenham Cricket Festival), Jane Hough (Derbyshire CCC and Ockbrook & Borrowash CC), Cait Fraser-Burton (Ockbrook & Borrowash CC) and Steven Horsley (Ockbrook & Borrowash CC) for sharing their experiences of scoreboard operating.
