01 — Overview

About this workshop

Every match needs an accurate scorer. This workshop teaches participants how to keep a complete scorebook for a Winn Family T-20 League match, from the toss to the final ball. It covers batting and bowling records, extras, fall of wickets, partnerships and the end-of-innings checks that make sure the book always balances. Participants finish by scoring a short practice innings and checking it against the official result.
