| Cricket Score Card Template |
All, I have never been to a live cricket game until last week when I went to see my local team (Stockton-on-Tees) play, and my son (aged 14) and we enjoyed the experience. I would like to know the format of a score card template to maintain my son's interest marking it per-ball. Nothing complex, a spreadsheet or Word document would do that we can print out would be fine, I've seen the scoring software software available and I'm sure they're great if a little over the top for our needs. Does anybody use such a spreadsheet/ document and would be willing to e-mail me a copy? I can't understand why such a thing isn't available on the multitude of cricket web-sites, but there you go. Thanks. |

Hi Brian, Scorebooks, are unfortunately still in hard copy as we do not take lap tops to matches to score on (well not up here anyway, someone would nick it), however if you and your son, come along to our club, im sure we have old scorebooks, were a page can be torn out for you to use. Otherwise screbooks are available from most cricket equipment stockists for around a tenner. PS if you both are intersted in a game, we play in the North East Durham league, and are always on the look out for new players, old and young David Pickersgill Belmont Cricket Club (Durham City) "Brian" <nospam@msn.com > wrote in message news:9sS%a.14$uS2.3@newsfep1-gui.server.ntli.net... > All, > > I have never been to a live cricket game until last week when I went to see > my local team (Stockton-on-Tees) play, and my son (aged 14) and we enjoyed > the experience. > > I would like to know the format of a score card template to maintain my > son's interest marking it per-ball. > > Nothing complex, a spreadsheet or Word document would do that we can print > out would be fine, I've seen the scoring software software available and I'm > sure they're great if a little over the top for our needs. > > Does anybody use such a spreadsheet/ document and would be willing to > me a copy? > > I can't understand why such a thing isn't available on the multitude of > cricket web-sites, but there you go. > > Thanks. > > > |

Windows CE devices (Handheld) supposedly keep a charge for around12 hours but if you are entering data for 6 hours continuously, you won't make it through the match. However all is not lost. Cricket matches are played in the summer which means lots of daylight, which in turn means solar power. I am currently working on a developing a unit which combines both solar and battery power to double/treble (maybe even more) battery life. Cheers Phil |

Thanks everybody for replying, it's amazing how diverse replies get from offers to play, to university projects, impressive stuff! I enjoyed all the replies, thanks for taking the time. I think I failed to stress one important line in my post "that we can print out" I just wanted to take a printed sheet, not my laptop! I have never even seen a cricket scorecard so I don't know where to start creating one to print out, but it can't be more than a table of columns with a standard set of codes to mark the bowling, hence spreadsheet. Never mind, if nobody has such a thing, it was interesting anyway! |
