Editing Scorer (section)

==Detailed scoring==
Cricket scorers keep track of many other facts of the game. As a minimum a scorer would note:
*For each ball, who bowled it and how many runs were scored from it, whether by the batsman with his bat ('off the bat') or [[byes]].
*For each batsman, every scoring run made.
*For each [[Dismissal (cricket)|dismissal]], the kind of dismissal (e.g. [[Leg before wicket|LBW]] or [[run out]]), the bowler (in the case of a bowling, LBW, catch, wicket hit, or stumping), any other player involved (in the case of a catch, run out, or stumping), as well as the total the batting team reached at that point in the game ('the fall of wicket'). Example notations as seen on cricket scorecards:
:*''c ''fielder'' b ''bowler – [[Caught]]
:*''c & b ''bowler – Caught & bowled (the bowler was also the catching fielder)
:*''b ''bowler – [[Bowled]]
:*''lbw b ''bowler – [[Leg before wicket]]
:*''st ''wicket-keeper'' b ''bowler – [[Stumped]]
:*''hit wicket'' ''b'' bowler - [[Hit wicket]]
:*''run out'' (fielder) - [[Run out]]
*For each bowler (his 'figures'), the number of overs bowled, the number of wickets taken, the number of runs conceded, and the number of [[maiden over]]s bowled.

Traditionally, the score book might record each ball bowled by a bowler and each ball faced by a batsman, but not necessarily which batsman faced which ball.  Linear scoring systems were developed from the late 19th century and early 20th century by [[John Atkinson Pendlington]], [[Bill Ferguson (cricket scorer)|Bill Ferguson]] and [[Bill Frindall]], to keep track of the balls faced by a batsman off each bowler.  Another early method of recording the number of balls faced and runs scored by each batsman off each bowler was devised by Australian scorer [[Johann Gottlieb Jackschon|J.G. Jackschon]] in the 1890s, using a separate memorandum alongside the main scoresheet.

Frequently more detail is recorded, for instance, for a batsman, the number of balls faced and the number of minutes batted. Sometimes charts (known as '''wagon wheels''') are prepared showing to which part of the field each scoring shot by a batsman was made (revealing the batman's favourite places to hit the ball)<ref>[http://eye-cam.tumblr.com/post/125358292001/cricket-batting-wagon-wheels-various-sources Wagonwheel]</ref>

Technology such as [[Hawk-Eye]] allows for more detailed analysis of a bowler's performance. For instance the '''beehive''' chart shows where a bowler's balls arrived at a batsman (high, low, wide, on the off stump etc.), while the '''pitch map''' shows where the balls pitched (trending toward short, good, or full lengths). Both charts can also show the results of these balls (dots, runs, boundaries, or wickets)<ref>[http://www.hawkeyeinnovations.co.uk/?page_id=1012 Hawk-eye innovations: beehive and pitch map]</ref>
