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? There's a shout out to some stunning locations but also some remote (resourceless) places. What do you do on encountering a flimsy sightscreen or when your memory goes? I can't quite remember the answer to that one!
Thanks to Mark Shepherd and Andy Nott for sharing their experience on camera scoring for Marylebone Cricket Club (or My Cricket Camera).
