AITCHISON CRICKET TO ENTER
THE 21ST CENTURY
Work is currently underway for installation of the new MCG electronic scoreboard. A
sympathetic building shall encase the technology, which will allow boys to manage
scoring via a Wi-Fisystem. The board will also feature replay highlights and have multi-
purpose extensions to athletics and other events. ACOBA's enthusiasm and generosity
indonating 2 million rupees has made this possible -the College making up the balance.
The Principal, Mr. Thomson, believes that by taking this initiative Aitchison will be
doing what many of the great cricket schools have already done in the UK —“only we will
do it better”, he says. “Eton, Harrow, Marlborough and Wellington have all taken this
initiative and added laptop scoring as well. Mr. Thomson said, “Most of England's old
pavilions have needed upgrading as the old fashioned ways of scoring have died away.
The beauty of our plan is that Aitchison's new scoreboard will not interfere or
‘compete' with the Rab Pavilion as it will be situated some 50 metres away and closer to
the Academy nets, and nestled in the trees -easily viewable from all angles. Electronic
systems encourage schoolboy scorers in the technology of their time, improve
accuracy, keep people updated and in the game, and raise the attractiveness of
Aitchison as a potential venue for major fixtures. Ours will have aclock and tiled roof to
match the cricket pavilion.”
