Umpiring
- Described by some as having the 'best seat in the house', umpires are in the middle of the game and make decisions to ensure the game is played fairly and in accordance to the laws of the game.
Scoring
- Scoring plays a crucial part in a game of cricket, ensuring that runs scored, wickets down and other key information is recorded during the game. Scorers need to have a good understanding of the game, a high level of accuracy, a good attention to detail and have great teamworking skills, as scorers work in pairs.
