MUMBAI: Like umpiring, scoring is a thankless job, but an integral part of cricket. You slog the whole day, but no one will take notice. However, one mistake can invite severe criticism. It was, thus, heartening to see the Mumbai Cricket Association organize a felicitation function for Mumbai’s scorers’ at The Lounge, in the premises of the iconic Wankhede Stadium on September 12, in a grand fashion.
It was a first of its kind programme, held exclusively for scorers and statisticians, and was well attended by many current and former scorers, and also those who had cleared the recently-held scorers’ exams of the MCA and are yet to actually get into scoring.
