00:00So, scoring since basically the 2018-19 season, so now we're looking up to probably, wow yeah,
00:16six years.
00:17They used to do it manually in the book and I don't know if you've ever seen an old score
00:20sheet but essentially it's quite, it's almost, I've seen people do it with essentially that
00:27long and with all the batters, all the bowlers and recording every single detail and some
00:31people have like seven or eight different biro colours, so like really, really full
00:34on and I thought I could never do that.
00:36But then when they introduced live scoring on the computer, I thought well, I can learn
00:39that.
00:40One of the great things I've always loved about community, any sport, whether it's cricket
00:49or anything is that, you know, people can be involved and you don't, you may not be
00:53good enough to play but you can still have a role at a club and that's what I've found
00:57is that, yeah, you can still be involved and like I said, through doing scoring for
01:02Ulverston and then that's led to doing scoring for the Great Northern Raiders and then, yeah,
01:06the last couple of years being on the Creep Test scoring panel, which has been wonderful,
01:09got to do a couple of, got to do a WBBL game at La Trobe.
01:12Oh wow.
01:13Yeah, the female, women's Hurricanes and the women's Melbourne Stars and, yeah, so it's
01:17just led to places I never thought it would go and I really enjoy doing the Great Northern
01:21Raiders as well for both the men and the women because you get to meet scorers from Hobart
01:26and you're just being part of that, part of that group where you're supporting the team
01:31off the field and, yeah, that growth and just wanting cricket to do well on the North and
01:35North West Coast, so, it's Tasmania, so yeah.
