How to use the cricket scorer
This cricket scorer is for a match you are playing or running: club, school, street or indoor cricket. It does not fetch live international scores. Name the two teams, pick who bats first in Settings, then score every delivery.
Press 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 6 for the runs off the bat and W for a wicket. For an extra, press Wide, No ball, Bye or Leg bye first and then the runs: Wide then 0 is a single wide, Wide then 4 is five wides, No ball then 6 is a six off a no ball. An extra followed by W records a wicket on that ball, for example a stumping off a wide or a run out while running byes.
The board shows the score like 145/3 (17.2), the run rate, the current partnership, extras and the balls of this over. When the first innings ends it sets the target, then shows how many runs are needed from how many balls and the required rate, and the result at the end. Open display window gives spectators a full-screen scoreboard on a second screen. For other games there is a baseball scoreboard and a general scoreboard.
Rules and settings
An over is six legal balls. A wide or a no ball adds a one-run penalty plus any runs scored from it, and that ball is bowled again, so it does not count toward the over. Byes and leg byes are extras too, but the ball counts. The runs for a wide and for a no ball are settings in case your competition uses something different.
An innings ends when the side is all out (10 wickets, or fewer if you set fewer players), when the overs run out, or when you press End innings for a declaration or a shortened game. Pick 20 overs for T20, 50 overs for a one day match, another number, or no limit. The team batting second needs one run more than the first innings total. Reaching it wins by the wickets still in hand; falling short loses by the runs missing; finishing level is a tie. With no overs limit, ending the second innings early while behind and not all out is a draw.

Questions
Does it keep batting and bowling figures?
No. It keeps the team score, wickets, overs, extras and the current partnership. For each batter's runs, use a paper scorebook alongside it; Print blank sheet gives an over-by-over sheet.
How do I correct a wrong ball?
Press Undo or U. It takes back the last ball, extra or innings change, and you can keep pressing it.
What does 17.2 overs mean?
Seventeen complete overs and two legal balls of the eighteenth. Wides and no balls are not counted in that number.
Is my match saved?
Yes, in this browser after every ball. You can close the page and carry on later. Download CSV saves the over-by-over record as a file.
