Again, another triviality, but I have recently spent several hours listening to the cricket commentary on the BBC Test Match Special programme. I have noticed how frequently all the commentators say the batsman has just “scampered” through for a single. Does anyone other than a TMS commentator use the word scamper these days?

It doesn’t seem unusual to me (though I don’t listen to cricket commentaries). I’d certainly use it of young children, mice, puppies, goats and so on, if their movements were of that kind.
