In which Jules, Sue, Mark and Brian talk to Devdutt Kshirsagar (Outside Broadcast Graphics Operator at Fox Sports) about his cricket work in Australia.

Devdutt describes how he came to do the job and what a day in the life of an Outside Broadcast Graphics Operator looks like. Devdutt answers all Mark's 'nerdy' questions about the technology involved and Sue's probing about how much interaction he has with the official scorers and where he sits.

There is an errant Leg Bye that features throughout the episode, which culminates in a weighty discussion over animated ducks.

Jules wraps up with the news that Cricket Scorers Untallied reached number 13 in a list of cricket related podcasts and urges our listeners to make contact, preferably by email.

In which, Jules, Mark, Sue and Brian are joined by special guest Liam Burnell, Sports Psychologist at Mindflick (https://mindflick.co.uk/) to share his experience of cricket scoring and offer some tips for scorers on how to stay positive and look after each other in the scorebox.

Liam talks about team dynamics, building confidence, creating a rapport with other officials, performance mode, scorers are athletes, support networks, resilience, mind sets, perspective, 7-second cure, the stretch zone, Samurai thinking, social interaction and assured us all that anxiety is normal.

CSU would like to offer Liam a huge vote of thanks for joining us on this podcast and we hope that you find Liam’s advice both interesting and useful.

In which, Jules, Brian, Mark (welcome back) and Sue are joined by guests Helen Hyde and Andy Lynch to talk predominantly about the mentoring and support of our scoring colleagues.

It wouldn't be CSU if we didn't get distracted along the way, and although there is no mention of cake, you will hear reference to roving scorers, media scorers, quizzing scorers, cross pollination, fielding positions and we ask 'Can Andy count to three?' and just what was he doing in the toilets at the Home of Cricket?

Our usual thanks go to both our guests and don't forget to keep in touch with Cricket Scorers Untallied for any comments on this and other episodes and to let us know what you would like us to talk about in future episodes.
