For many cricket clubs and schools around the country, scoring is still a manual process. The careful recording of dot balls in scorebooks or the changing of score box number plates to a small ripple of applause could perhaps be considered part of the authentic charm of village cricket.
Cricket is however a sport that’s moving with the times, helping it to appeal to the next generation of modern cricketers and tech-savvy fans. Test cricket puts ball tracking technology to good use (or bad, if you’re supporting the losing side!), flashing bails are not an uncommon sight, plus new faster-paced formats of the game which have helped extend the sports reach.
Scoring too has also been sprinkled with some modern magic. Our new range of Electronic Cricket Scoreboards feature not only a remote control, allowing scores to be updated from anywhere around the pitch, but compatibility with the Play Cricket system too, automatically making scores available live online in real-time. Simply connect the scoreboard to your phone/tablet via bluetooth, or if required using a USB cable to your laptop.
All of our electronic cricket scoreboards are mains powered as standard, however they can be run on 12v battery power too – please contact us for details before ordering. We can also supply brackets for wall mounting, rails for post mounting or even a trolley, if you’d prefer a more portable cricket scoreboard solution.
The good news is that now that this technology has become more mainstream, the price of electronic cricket scoreboards has fallen, making them an achievable purchase for many schools and cricket clubs looking to improve and modernise their facilities.
Don’t forget, if you have a question about any of the electronic cricket scoreboards available from sportsequip.co.uk, you can contact us on 01858 545789 or email [email protected] and we’d be happy to offer guidance or advice.
