Palmcricket is a cricket scoring computer program that works on any Palm handheld computer with 300k free memory running on Palm OS 3.5 or later. This program is ideal for cricket coaches, scorers and umpires who need true mobility on cricket fields without access to electrical power. With Palmcricket, one can easily score while umpiring (a real advantage for overworked school and club coaches who have to do everything during a cricket match). Cricket enthusiasts can also score international one-day matches and test cricket from the comfort of their stadium seats or home lounge chairs. Professional and media scorers at international matches can now also benefit by replacing bulky and expensive PC scoring systems with Palm handheld computers running Palmcricket. |

The program allows for up to two innings per team, per match, with unlimited overs per innings. It handles all possible events covered by the latest MCC 2000 cricket laws, including allowance for batting and fielding penalties. It also caters easily for different bye-laws and interpretations. |

Palmcricket automatically stores every scoring event to the built-in database, in real time. There is thus no need to "back up" the match after every ball or over, in case of mistakes. Effortlessly change to other Palm applications, and return to the exact match position at any time, even change batteries during a match. Mistakes are easily corrected either immediately using a back space button, or later using the comprehensive ball-by-ball edit facility. Correct any ball in any innings, at any time. |

No need to hurry back to the office to transfer the match data for printing from your desk-top. Built-in support for Stevens Creek Software† print server allows you to print score-sheets to portable battery-driven printers such as the HP Deskjet 350, anywhere, any time. This works especially well at isolated venues without electrical power. |

Drinks, lunch, tea, close of play, declarations etc are all catered for and recorded in the database, with special allowance for early breaks after fall of a wicket. Palmcricket also accommodates mid-over bowling changes easily, with bowler partial overs recorded correctly. |

Palmcricket was developed using the gnu open source C compiler for native code interface to Palm OS. It needs no bloated run-time modules, leaving more space for matches. The complete program occupies less than 220k. Download the software in minutes, no huge Mbyte overhead. Ball-by-ball databases occupy only 70k for a full 5-day test, and 25k for a 50-over one-day match. So even on the Palm m100, one could easily save ten 5-day tests, in addition to the current match. The speed and simplicity leave other hand-held cricket scoring programs for dead. |

"Try before you buy". Download the full package, and evaluate all the features, inclusive of multiple innings scoring, printing etc. Each innings will allow all functions for at least six overs, before being progressively weakened until the scoring is disabled after about ten overs. Only the scoring buttons become inoperative, all other features are still available for evaluation. This provides enough opportunity to assess the strength and capabilities of the entire system, before making purchase decisions. |
