Digital Scoring Solutions – Making Cricket Even Better : CricHQ
The cricket scorer has always been at the epicentre of a cricket match . Now scorers all over the world are transitioning to digital , utilising technology and becoming even more valuable to the cricket organisations they score for .
Robert Croft , right-handed batter and off-break bowler for England and Glamorgan
Following an excellent Q & A at Wales ACO ’ s 2015 conference , we ’ re delighted that Robert will regale his best anecdotes and his more recent experiences as a head coach . Robert draws from a whole range of cricketing experiences which include becoming Sir Vivian Richards ’ man-servant and learning some bowling ‘ tricks of the trade ’ from Waquar Younis . His coaching techniques would have been enhanced from serving under the likes of David Lloyd and Duncan Fletcher . More recently , Robert has been invited to South Africa with the full England team to act as white ball tactical coach .
