See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Ian T: Scorers are part of the 'third team' - along with the Umpires. As a team they must work together. Scorers should always sit together and compare score sheets periodically - once an over is good. The actual scoring is only part of the job. They must understand ALL the Umpires signals and know when to acknowledge those signals - remember, the Umpire will call and signal to the PLAYERS initially and only when the ball is dead will he turn and signal to the scorers. And they should wait for your acknowledgement before continuing. If in doubt about anything, make a note and ask the Umpires at the next interval. They *should* be coming to you and checking the score sheets agree as the responsibility for the correct score is THEIRS not yours. If there is an error it must be fixed NOW. There is no point continuing a game for another 3 or 4 sessions when the scores are wrong after the first session. The umpires decide how many balls have been bowled in an over - they *should* be checking with each other EVERY over - look for the little two finger salute they give each other when there are two good balls to go - ALL top grade umpires around the world *should* be doing it. If you think they have bowled only 5 then TOUGH!!! If you think that was a seven ball over then TOUGH!! Never shout out 'One to go' or 'That's over' ... However, if it appears that the miscounting is happening a lot you could mention it at the next interval - but beware! It is often the scorers missing a dot ball or missing a wide or no-ball signal that is the fault..
