Where’s the petition to ban #cricket commentators from using the phrase “without troubling the scorer” as a euphemism for a batter being out for a duck.
As an old fart who learned to score with a pencil and a paper scorebook, I can assure you the scorers were very much troubled.

@mtearle Pretty sure it was Bill Frindall who used to grumble about this on TMS too.
