The Official 1999 Cricket World Cup Scorebook [antikvár]

A masterpiece of concise, easy-to-follow detail, the scoresheet enables you both to follow a match as it progresses and recreate it in years to come. A specimen scoresheet from an imaginary match between England and Australia has been compiled to help you with filling in your scoresheets. To score accurately, you need to be able to recognize the umpires' signals promptly. These are as follows: Umpire waves the arm from side to side: boundary 4 Umpire raises both arms above the head: boundary 6 Umpire raises an open hand above the head: bye Umpire crosses and re-crosses the wrists below the waist: dead ball Umpire touches a raised knee with the hand: leg bye Umpire extends one arm horizontally: no ball Umpire raises the index finger above the head: out (If not out the umpire calls 'Not out') Umpire bends the arm upwards and touches the nearer shoulder with the tips of the fingers: short run Umpire extends both arms horizontally: wide Be sure alsó to use the correct scoring symbols: No ball with no runs resulting: O No ball is hit and one run is scored: No ball is hit and two runs are scored: No ball is hit and three runs are scored: (5) No ball is hit and a boundary four is scored: No ball is not played with the bat and one run is scored: Q No ball is not played with the bat and two runs are scored: No ball is not played with the bat and the ball goes to the boundary: A wide is bowled and no runs result: A wide is bowled and one run results: A wide is bowled and two runs result: ^ A wide is bowled and three runs result: -^r A wide is bowled and the ball goes to the boundary: -ffr A batsman is out off a wide ball and bowler gets credit: The main features are as follows, use the specimen scoresheet to help you. Batting List the batsmen according to the order in which they come to the crease - No. I faces the first ball of the match. Any runs should be entered in the 'Runs scored' column next to the relevant batsman; enterthe number and then put a dot after it to separate each entry. If the batsman is out close off his innings with two lines (see specimen scoresheet), add up his runs and complete his totál. Enter his mode of dismissal or other entry, e.g. 'not out'. Write the name of the bowler in the bowler column only if he gets credit for the dismissal; if the batsman is not out or out for another reason, this column should be left blank. Complete the 'Fali of wickets' by entering the score when the wicket falls and the number of the out batsman below. Extrás (no balls, wides, byes and leg byes) fali into two categories: 'Bowling Extrás' and 'Fielding Extrás'. Wides and no balls are bowling extrás as they are debited against the bowler. NB: if'No ball' is called and the batsman hits the ball then any runs scored are credited to the batsman and are not to be entered as 'no ball' extrás. Leg byes and byes are fielding extrás and therefore do not count against the bowler. As these cannot be hit by the batsman, no runs can be scored by the batsman. Check regularly that: Batsmen's runs + bowling extrás = runs off bowlers Runs off bowlers + fielding extrás = totál score
