Bill Ferguson (cricket scorer)

William Henry Ferguson BEM (6 June 1880 – 22 September 1957) is one of the best-known cricket scorers.

For 52 years from 1905 until his death, Ferguson acted as the scorer and baggageman for Australia, England, West Indies, South Africa and New Zealand[1] in 43 tours and 208 Test matches.

[3] In order to record such details, including the times of significant events during an innings, he designed his own scoring books – "which contain[ed] at least twice as much information as any other in the world" – and had them printed at his own expense.

[6] He published his autobiography, Mr Cricket, a few months before his death.
