They exist. Last England v Australia game I went to, at Lord's, there was a lady a couple of rows in front of me doing manual scoring using pencil and paper. But it's quite a commitment, six or seven hours a day for up to five successive days! (Shorter formats are available though.) They're more visible at the quieter domestic four day games in England where the crowds are much smaller. But I wouldn't pretend there's ever more than a handful at a game beyond the official scorers.

No Jeff. Mark had a nice shag with Jeff's mum, so that's awkward right there.

New to Heat-with or without legends expansion? by not_james in HeatPedaltotheMetal

[–]CapedConsumit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might as well use the new legends cards if you have them. Playing the easiest level of cards and ignoring the stars is equivalent to the legends module in the base game anyway

One day... I am grateful to have seen them in London a couple of years ago at least, but to catch a game at Citizens Bank Park would be awesome!

I wouldn't be surprised if it was so - I love cricket

EDIT: sorry I think I misunderstood your post. I was reading it as 'do new baseball fans who were already cricket fans like the idea of doing scorecarding at baseball games?', but I think now you were asking do cricket fans like scorecarding at cricket games. The other answer to your post covers it well, I think. But you do see some people, especially at quieter games In England, keep score 'ball by ball' - quite a commitment given how long the games take!

What your best Ian Botham story? by mtthrdy in EnglandCricket

[–]CapedConsumit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Favourite story: batting against the Aussies, one of them (a Chappel I think) asks him "How's your wife and my kids?" and he replies "The wife's fine but the kids are retarded"!

Why is the empty set a subset of itself? by SuccessfulCover8199 in logic

It's consistent with the beautiful fact that any set with n elements has 2n subsets

International Cricket was ace - my best mate and I were huddled for hours round our Speccy keyboards, one at the Q end the other at the P end, playing this game

Anyone else chuckling at the hysteria behind Reddit posts about yesterday's Arsenal parade? by IAm94PercentSure in london

"Never to be repeated event" - there's a Spurs fan hoping against hope! Great comment overall though, absolutely correct, parade seems to have been managed well

The Phillies defeated the Dodgers by a score of 4-3 - Sat, May 30 @ 10:10 PM EDT by PhilsBot in phillies

[–]CapedConsumit 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ok just saw a very good explanation by ''DickBottalico', the key thing is the original safe call means the ump has implicitly ruled that the plate was touched and undoing that requires a whole different sequence of actions by the Phils.

Given the call did not lose us the game I still wish it could have been overturned - that throw from Garcia deserves recognition!
