Scoring plays a crucial part in a game of cricket, ensuring that runs scored, wickets down and other key information is recorded during the game.

Scorers need to have a good understanding of the game, a high level of accuracy, a good attention to detail and have great teamworking skills, as scorers work in pairs (usually each scorer from each team playing).

Scoring a game of cricket can be done in multiple ways, from traditional book scoring and linear style to electronic scoring using computers, tablets or in some forms of the game, a mobile app.

The ECB offer a wide range of courses to help budding scorers learn the key skills required in all these forms of scoring.
