Bill Frindall dies
Although he didn't invent the linear scoring method - that honour goes to either Bill Ferguson or John Pendlington - he perfected and popularised it. Having scored many matches at school, I was invited back as a "neutral" scorer (the year after I left) for the traditional annual Masters vs. 1st XI match. Having always used the traditional scoring books up until then, I decided to try out the Frindall method. Although it took some getting used to, once you have the hang of it, it gives you so much more information that I can't understand why it isn't the standard.
