#39 Where did 2023 go?

10/26/23 • 32 min

In which Brian, Jules and Sue catch up after the 2023 season and chat mainly about food and beverages with a little bit of cricket scoring between bites.
Cropping up in conversation you will find: regular stewards; grounds that can be circumnavigated; the price of tea; gypsy tart watch; the Village Knock Out Final; the Milk Tray man (other chocolates are available); handing round scoring devices; paper versus scoring app; chasing the sun; hello to Rory from Durban (SA); scoring in the CWC2023; a 'correspondent' question; indoor cricket.
To stop the team rambling and be more focussed in future episodes, please get in touch and suggest a topic for discussion via the usual channels.

#38 T20 Vision or Cricket?

In which Sue, Brian and Jules talk to Paul Toplis, Paul Stubbs and Carol Hughes about scoring visually impaired (VI) cricket at the 2023 International Blind Sport Federation (IBSA) World Games in Birmingham.
Cropping up in our conversation were a vicars/priests team, runners, Hit Wicket dismissals, underarm bowling, more runners, being quiet, balls with ball bearings in, an all run 5, batters at the wrong ends, helpful shirt numbers, paper backups and did I mention runners?
In a radical change to the norm - there is no mention of cake!
Mark Long joins the conversation to talk about scoring domestic VI cricket in the UK and if you want to try this yourself, please contact Paul Toplis on [email protected], as more scorers are always wanted in this format of cricket.

#40 My Cricket Camera?

In which Sue welcomes you to 2024 and Mark chats with Andy Nott about using cameras while scoring for the MCC.
There's an abundance of technical terms and who knew that camera poles, battery packs, wireless point to point links and multiple tripods would become standard equipment for scorers? There's a shout out to some stunning locations but also some remote (resourceless) places. What do you do on encountering a flimsy sightscreen or when your memory goes? I can't quite remember the answer to that one!
Thanks to Mark Shepherd and Andy Nott for sharing their experience on camera scoring for Marylebone Cricket Club (or My Cricket Camera).
Don't forget to keep in touch with Cricket Scorers Untallied via the usual channels.
