At NV Play, we understand the role of the scorer is a busy one, and that every scorer has their preferred way of doing things.  So we have made it easy for you to work the way you like to, with support for multiple scoring input methods - including via keyboard shortcuts.

The following keyboard scoring options are always active:

0 (or .), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 for the respective number of runs off the bat, credited to the batsman (not 7, 8, or 9)

w & 0 for a wide, w & 1 for 2 wides, w & 2 for 3 wides, w & 3 for 4 wides, w & 4 for 5 wides

n for a no ball, n & 1 for a no ball and 1 run to the batsman, n & 2 for a no ball and 2 runs to the batsman, etc 

n, l or b & 1 for a no ball with 1 leg bye or bye, n, l or b & 2 for a no ball with 2 leg byes or byes, etc

l & 1 for 1 leg bye, l & 2 for 2 leg byes, l & 3 for 3 leg byes, l & 4 for 4 leg byes 

b & 1 for 1 bye, b & 2 for 2 byes, b & 3 for 3 byes, b & 4 for 4 byes
