In order to score a run, the batsman has to hit the ball with his bat and run to the opposite end of the pitch, while his teammate – also a batsman – runs from the opposite end as well. When the scorer receives a signal, he has to immediately acknowledge and record the score. Instead, it is the role of the umpire to call the runs and wickets lost, before signalling to the scorer. However, it is not the scorer who decides which team has scored. A scorer is specially appointed to take note of the runs and wickets in order to tally the score, and matches can often have two scorers to ensure impartiality.
Unlike many other sports, the scoring system in cricket is double faceted – it is based on the number of runs as well as the number of wickets that is broken.
