Merger proposal[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to complete the merger. --Bill (talk) 10:19, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Propose Scorer be merged into Scoring (cricket). Significant overlap. Content in Scorer easily explained in context of Scoring and no problems around article size or undue weight. --Bill (talk) 14:22, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Significant overlap between the two articles. Split is confusing. Expand Scoring to include all aspects of scoring both on and off field. Will allow one week for discussion then go ahead if no consensus for objection. --Bill (talk) 14:28, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support - The scorer is the individual who carries out the scoring of the match. Not much to say beyond that that can't be put into the Scoring (cricket) article. – Pee Jay 18:43, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Lede, re-ordering etc[edit]

I suggest the article needs some work doing to it, so that the lede is much shorter (being perhaps two paragraphs), and with the remainder of the current chunk of paragraphs at the top distributed to sections below. I will crack on with this at some point but would like to hear any opinions about the direction this article should take first. Argovian (talk) 09:28, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Older methods?[edit]

I have been looking at some 19th century results which look like this:

'Peel scored a single off the first ball of the day, but was immediately afterwards bowled off his pad by a ball from Dennis. 4-1-10'

Please explain the '4-1-10'

Defining Terms[edit]

Could the terms (such as Wides, No-balls, Byes, and Leg byes) be defined so that people not familiar with cricket can understand the scoring. LDCorey (talk) 17:11, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Improvements 9/20/20[edit]

The article should note that winning scores attempt to document how close a winning team would have been to not winning had they:

in the case of the team batting last losing, scored x fewer runs
in the case of the team batting last winning, had x more batsmen out and faced x more deliveries/balls, supposing they had not scored any runs off the final delivery they faced in the match.

When a team completes a win by n innings and x runs, it's because they wouldn't have won had they completed n more innings and scored x fewer runs. GreekApple123 (talk) 06:12, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
