Browsing the score might mean a glance at those numbers every fifteen minutes or so - probably about the same impact on productivity as checking the time.
I think the OP was using this to keep up-to-date on the Twenty20 world cup. This is a much shorter format of the game, and a match can take as little as 2 - 3 hours to complete from start to finish.
