How come the umpires and scorers don't merit a mention in the vast majority of scorecards generated on the Play Cricket websites promoted through the England and Wales Cricket Board and its local offshoots in the counties?
Both sets of people are part and parcel of the game - so why not put them up alongside the players? Yes, we are all keen to know how many runs the batters made, and how many wickets and catches were taken.
But what about those very much involved in the game without actually taking part in it? Scorers are particularly hard to find, to let's give them every encouragement!
Post your views here!
Thanks to Jon Taylor - renowned Hibaldstow CC groundsman and run-maker - for pointing out clubs can add the umpires' names, if they wish, on Play Cricket. However, it seems (from my personal experience) very few are doing so. And then there's the question of the scorers, of course.
