"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!"
