How do you become a cricket scorer or statistician?

[Days of Grace]

I want to get into statistics and eventually live in England whilst my fiancee studies at University.

I have a masters in Art and feel that I might need to start all over again and educate myself in statistics and get another degree.

Or can I make some contacts in England and express my enthusiasim to work as a cricket statistician?

how do you get your foot in the door with such a career?

I can't imagine that a degree in statistics would be really necessary for cricket stats, I may be wrong however.

Stats degree will be utterly irrelevant. Even A Level statistics is well beyond that which is relevant to cricket.

If you can count to 6 you're comfortably ahead of a number of current Test umpires. I'm thinking in particular of Steve "Shakoor" Bucknor, the single most overrated individual in professional sport

Just approach clubs, they're usually mustard for it.

Looks simple enough to become an online scorer for New South Wales

I wonder what the salary is like and can you work fulltime in such a job or just parttime?

 

[vic_orthdox]

No club or association has the money to pay a full-time scorer.
