Bics, the cricket scoring software which is available to everybody, has
provided the data for a scoreboard on the big screens at some of the ODIs in
New Zealand recently.

Bics is used throughout the world for scoring cricket. It is easy to use yet
provides all imaginable statistics such as...
Batsmen’s score, balls faced, minutes in, fours, sixes, how out and analyses
all scoring and non-scoring balls faced.
Bowler’s overs, maidens, runs, wicket, no balls, wides, runs per over,
spells and also analyses all scoring and non-scoring balls bowled.
Fall of wickets are recorded as are partnerships, and records the innings
details at every 50 and 100.
There is a Manhattan graph, a projected sore in a limited over match and a
record is kept of when the last score, four and six occurred.
The match, innings, overs and statistics can be printed.

Bics is easy to operate because an over will usually consist of six or more
keystrokes consisting mainly on the fullstop key (or spacebar) for dot balls
and the 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 keys. Extras are scored with other keys as are
fall of wickets.

Cricket scoring is not demanding on computer specifications so it can be run
on a low end machine.

Bics Plus
The software for the big screen uses two networked computers. The Bics
program runs on one. The data from this is sent across the network to
another computer which runs a separate graphics program called Bics Plus
which displays the data in large format. The two computers allow the scorer
to keep the score up to date without fear of any housekeeping accidentally
showing on the screen.

Bics Plus shows the score as a main screen, a batting, bowling, milestone,
Manhattan, target and text screens.
