"I know you probably will not want to mention other software but before
using TCS I used a rival product. I have found TCS much simpler and easier
to use.
You provide much more detail (but in a convenient format), including
the use of colour and all the necessary entries are in a toolbar at the
top of the screen so you don't need to have a palette floating about as in
WSB.
You also have the choice of scoring simply (one click scoring) or you
can go the more complicated route and use the wagon wheel and length view.
There is also no need for a separate statistical programme as TCS collates
stats for you and I also like the fact that if you have to score a match
manually you can enter all the details into TCS.
The fact that you can switch to scorebook view is also a great improvement.
What I am most impressed with is COMMUNICATION. Replies to question are
answered very quickly and you take on board points and suggestions made
and where appropriate action them and you bring out a new version very
quickly.
TCS takes the hassle out of manual scoring and makes life much easier
for the scorer. I have far more time to operate the scoreboard! TCS is well
worth the money."

"The Total Cricket Scorer is simply the best product in its market. It caters for
the needs of advanced scorers (with there being pitching diagrams, wagon wheels,
and plenty of colours!) or just for the most basic of scoring needs. It also
will compile season averages quickly and easy and this is a great bonus.
The
first time I used the programme I made a mistake about 3/4 of the way through
the game; what I had done was fail to notice that the batsmen had crossed before
a catch being taken and so had got the balls faced by the following batsmen
wrong. It took me a matter of seconds to correct this problem and this was after
the game had finished! It is also worth noting that the programme boasts an
unlimited undo function (and that each delivery only requires one undo, this is
in stark contrast to previous computer scoring programmes available).
The
other great feature about this programme is the team of developers behind it,
who have been very quick to respond to any feedback or constructive criticism
and release new updated versions of the programme (it has got to the stage now
where it is very hard to find any way for the programme to improve, although I'm
sure the TCS team have plenty of ideas up their sleeves).
The TCS is a a joy
for scorers to use (I have found that when scoring with it I am quicker than my
colleague, using his pen and paper, and I still managed to be plotting wagon
wheels and pitching diagrams, as well as Manhattan's, worms oh and colour coding
the whole thing).
I suppose the only downside to the product is that it
makes scoring too easy! I now find that I am able to score matches producing
graphics of immense quality which are able to aid not only the players
(especially the bowlers who can see where all the runs of their bowling are
being scored) but also to captains and coaches (who can analyse the best
fielding positions to use against particular batsmen or teams).
Oh and just
one final point to all the scorers out there, by using the TCS your book will
always balance, as you can't go wrong; even the balls faced will add up 100% of
the time! So why not download the trial version and see for yourself what a
quick, easy, and ultimately effective programme it is.."

"I have found the program extremely easy to use and
actually has allowed me to watch a lot more of the cricket rather than cross
casting all the time.
The biggest problem now is the constant stream of batsmen
and bowlers wanting to see the wagon wheels. It is a great bit of kit and is
fantastic for producing ongoing stats throughout the season.
Well done to all
those at Total Cricket Scorer and keep up the good work."

"I started to use your program this season and have been very impressed with the ease of use and access to information during the match.
The clincher for me though is the ability to edit ball information during the innings. I had tried a rival product and made an input error in the first over.
I didn’t discover it until the start of the next over and could not correct the error. Eventually I gave up and scored the old fashioned way.
I have also been impressed with the support given and also the responses to suggestions to improve the program.
The ability to input match details from a scorebook and then collate averages at the end of the season is great.
The interest shown in the program from other scorers has been huge. As any scorer will tell you the busiest times for them are the various breaks in play. Most of this time is spent reconciling the book. This season I have just entered the fact that there is a break and then relaxed, knowing that the score balances.
I would heartily recommend this program to any scorer."

"Having used TCS for a complete season, I have found it easy to use. It
produces an accurate scorecard for the game which is neatly printed out
on a single A4 sheet for each innings. Waggon wheels for batsmen and
bowlers and pitch maps for bowlers are easily produced and are useful as
coaching aids to players, aids to the captain regarding bowling line and
lengths for field placing and can be printed out as mementos for players
scoring centuries. The statistics produce detailed averages and
summaries.
Overall, TCS has been a joy to score with.
Such a shame that it hasn't improved my teams' perfomances!"
