In which, Sue, Jules and Brian are joined by guest Richard Isaacs to talk about providing statistics for cricket commentators and in particular the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in the West Indies and USA in June 2024.

Along the way the quartet discuss: disability cricket at Lord's; the Vatican v the Bishop's Conference; providing broadcast statistics; maintaining personal well being while working from home; scorers in the corner; working as a team; scoring as the best job in the world; statistical story telling; cricket stats databases; the hunt for historical records; cracking the USA; frisbee throwing above cricket; the oldest cricket fixture of all time; international T20 stats; scorer recognition.

Yes we really did cram all that and more into 40 minutes and asked the 4 key questions:

• What do you call a group of 5 balls?
• Has that happened before?
• Who are the scorers?
• Does the pope play cricket?

We also came up with some topics for future episodes, so stay tuned for more and make sure to keep in touch with Cricket Scorers Untallied via the usual channels.
