#48 The Third Team

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 13:00:00 +0000

In which Mark, Brian and Sue make up a third team with Middlesex Premier League umpires Matti Watton and Vinoj Srinivasan to discuss umpires and scorers working together for the good of the game.

They discuss match preparation, local knowledge, coffee preferences, downtime, dining together, what scorers need to know to support the umpires, mutual empathy, preparing for higher levels and lots more.

They ponder such questions as 'Should scorers attend the toss?' and 'Should scorers offer feedback to umpires?' - answers via email please.

Still no mention of cake (must do better in future episodes), but a pint and a bag of nuts creeps into the conversation instead.

As ever, please do get in touch via one of the methods below.

Fri, 05 Jan 2024 17:00:00 +0000

In which Sue welcomes you to 2024 and Mark chats with Andy Nott about using cameras while scoring for the MCC.

There's an abundance of technical terms and who knew that camera poles, battery packs, wireless point to point links and multiple tripods would become standard equipment for scorers?

I can't quite remember the answer to that one!
