  • Beware Milestones
    DECIDE: How to Manage the Risk in Your Decision Making Beware milestones Having convinced you to improve your measurement of what really matters in your organisation so that you can make better decisions, I must provide a word of caution. Sometimes when we introduce new measures we actually hurt decision making. Take the effect that milestones have on people. Milestones as the name infers are solid markers of progress on a journey. You have either made the milestone or you have fallen short. There is no better example of the effect of milestones on decision making than from sport. Take the game of cricket. If you don’t know cricket all you need to focus in on is one number, 100. That number represents a century of runs by a batsman in one innings and is a massive milestone. Careers are judged on the number of centuries a batsman scores. A batsman plays the game to score runs by hitting a ball sent toward him at varying speeds of up to 100.2 miles per hour (161.3 kilometres per hour) by a bowler from 22 yards (20 metres) away. The 100.2 mph delivery, officially the fastest ball ever recorded, was delivered by Shoaib Akhtar of Pakistan. Shoaib was nicknamed the Rawalpindi Express! Needless to say, scoring runs is not dead easy. A great batting average in cricket at the highest levels is 40 plus and you are among the elite when you have an average over 50. Then there is Australia’s great Don Bradman who had an average of 99.94 with his next nearest rivals being South Africa’s Graeme Pollock with 60.97 and England’s Herb Sutcliffe with 60.63.

  • Cricket Scoring the First Steps
    CRICKET SCORING THE FIRST STEPS CRICKET SCORING THE FIRST STEPS This manual has been written to help introduce new scorers to basic methods of scoring and to answer some of the questions most new scorers have. We hope that anyone who reads this manual will then feel confident to score for a day’s cricket and will know the answers to some of the situations they might come across. It is written in simple language without too much reference to the Laws of Cricket but we have quoted the Law numbers on occasions so that any scorer wishing to learn more about scoring and the Laws of Cricket can then refer to them. In scoring it is important to learn to do the simple thing’s first and this manual will hopefully help you do that. A scorer has four duties which are laid down in Law FOUR of the Laws of Cricket. These are: 1. Accept The Scorer may on occasion believe a signal to be incorrect but you must always accept and record the Umpire signals as given. Remember you as Scorers are part of a team of four and you must work together with the Umpires. 2. Acknowledge Clearly and promptly acknowledge all Umpires’ signals – if necessary wave a white card or paper if the Umpires find it hard to see you. Confer with Umpires about doubtful points at intervals. 3. Record Always write neatly and clearly. 4. Check Do this frequently as detailed later. 2 Reprinted with the kind permission of the NSW Umpires' & Scorers' Association GETTING STARTED Note: You should familiarise yourself with any local rules which apply to matches played in your competition.

  • England in Australia 1950-51 Five Tests. Australia Won 4 - 1
    England in Australia 1950-51 Five Tests. Australia Won 4 - 1. Balls per Over: 8 Playing Hours: 6 days x 5 hr Captains: AL Hassett (Aus), FR Brown (Eng) England’s second post-war visit produced a curiously flat series, which had some parallels with the equivalent tour after World War One. Once again, Australia won 4-1 after securing the Ashes at the first opportunity; the one defeat was Australia’s first for over twelve years. And then there was Bedser, whose superb fast-medium bowling, like Tate’s in 1924, was still unable to swing the result. Unlike 1924, though, there was a general dominaton of ball over bat, and the response of the bat, especially from England, was too often a sort of paralysed defence which would become commonplace in the 1950s. With Bradman retired and Miller mellowing, Australian batting fireworks were also in short supply. Harvey was consistent, but couldn't find top gear. The series was played in good spirit, thanks largely to the easy-going natures of captains “Puck” Hassett and the suave Freddie Brown, but public response to one of the lowest-scoring series of the century was judged to be disappointing. For the third series in a row, Brisbane weather dictated terms in the opening match. Storms prevented play on the second day, and rendered the pitch unsuitable for play until well into the third. One wonders how suitable it was thereafter, as 20 wickets fell in less than four hours. England saved the follow-on, but if anything their bowlers were then too successful, encouraging Hassett’s extraordinary declaration at 7 for 32, and casting England back into the gluepot.

  • 1. Intro to Scorekeeping
    1. Intro To Scorekeeping The following terms will be used on this site: Cell: The term cell refers to the square in which the player’s at-bat is recorded. In this illustration, the cell is the box where the diagram is drawn. Scorecard, Scorebook: Will be used interchangeably and refer to the sheet that records the player and scoring information during a baseball game. Scorekeeper: Refers to someone on a team that keeps the score for the purposes of the team. Official Scorer: The designated person whose scorekeeping is considered the official record of the game. The Official Scorer is not a member of either team. Baseball’s Defensive Positions To “keep score” of a baseball game it is essential to know the defensive positions and their shorthand representation. For example, the number “1” is used to refer to the pitcher (P). NOTE : In the younger levels of youth baseball leagues 10 defensive players are used. This 10 th position is know as the Short Center Fielder (SC) and is positioned between second base and the second baseman, on the beginning of the outfield grass. The Short Center Fielder bats and can be placed anywhere in the batting lineup. Defensive Positions, Numbers & Abbreviations Position Number Defensive Position Position Abbrev. 1 Pitcher P 2 Catcher C 3 First Baseman 1B 4 Second Baseman 2B 5 Third Baseman 3B 6 Short Stop SS 7 Left Fielder LF 8 Center Fielder CF 9 Right Fielder RF 10 Short Center Fielder SC The illustration below shows the defensive position for the defense.

  • MSO 9 Wicket Rules & Etiquette (Final)
    MARYLAND SENIOR OLYMPICS RULES FOR 9 WICKET CROQUET 1 INTRODUCTION The Maryland Senior Olympics uses selected rules for 9 Wicket Croquet published by the United States Croquet Association (USCA). Games are played at Ginger Cove (GC), 4000 River Crescent Drive, Annapolis, MD, and at the West River Wickets’ (WRW) facility at 120 Owensville Rd, Owensville, MD. The Ginger Cove courts include one full-size (100 x 50 feet) and one three-quarter-size that are artificial turf. The three WRW courts include two natural grass courts (one manicured and one backyard type) and a sand court. The tournament employs Waterford doubles. In Waterford doubles the tournament director assigns a different partner in each game until the semifinals and finals are reached. Those individual players with the best win-loss record will be placed in a ladder for the playoffs. The Tournament Director will divide players into two age groups (approximately 50 to 70 years and over 70 years, depending upon the number of contestants); each group will compete only against opponents of similar age. Mallets will be provided anyone not possessing one. Personal mallets may be used. OBJECT OF THE GAME The object of the game is to advance the balls through the course by hitting them with a mallet, scoring a point for each wicket and stake made in the correct order and direction. The winner is the first side to score the 14 wicket points and 2 stake points for each of its balls, or the team with the most points when the time limit is reached. At the beginning of a turn the player (called the "striker") has one shot.

  • Beginning Softball Scoring
    Beginning Softball Scoring GETTING STARTED It is suggested that this document be read in conjunction with the brochure ‘Softball – Slow Pitch & Fast Pitch’ available from Softball Australia ( www.softball.org.au ) or call (03) 9890 8200 Don’t panic - The order of importance for scoring softball is runs, outs, the count.

Any extra batters are ‘on the bench’ and are included at the bottom of the sheet. Fill in the players position numbers, 1 = pitcher, 2 = catcher, 3 =first base, 4 = second base, 5 = third base, 6 = shortstop, 7 = left field, 8 = centre field, 9 = right field.
