NV Play Pro Cricket Scorer/Play-Cricket Scorer Pro now caters for those rare bowlers who can bowl with either arm or regularly switch between types of delivery, so that the correct Bowling Type is recorded against each delivery that they bowl.
The Bowling Type is derived from the player record and can be used to run queries in Multi-Match Stats Wizard. For example, a search for RFM in Multi-Match Stats Wizard will return all ball clips from bowlers with a Right-Arm Fast-Medium player record. The player record Bowling Type is defined in Edit Database under the Players tab, and for the majority of players, there is no need to modify this behaviour.
However, should a player change from right handed to left handed for one ball in an over you can record this ball as left handed by following these steps:
- Start the ball using the Start Ball or Start Ball Clip button (this step can be ignored if you have Auto-Start Ball enabled)
- Right click on the ball in the Ball by Ball panel
- Select "Edit Ball Bowling Type"
- In the drop down list, select the appropriate Bowling Type and click Done

The Bowling Type can also be modified after the ball has finished or the match is completed by using the Edit button and right clicking on the ball in the Ball by Ball panel.
NB: You may wish to simply use the Event "Bowling Variation" to signify a different type of bowling on a specific ball based on your teams needs rather than modify the Bowling Type.

The Bowling Type for each ball is shown in a new Ball by Ball column, "Bwl Type", which will display the two-three letter code in grey when it is the Bowling Type from the player record and in black when it is explicitly set from the dropdown:
