About the Cricket Scorer & Scorecard Maker
Keep the book for a gully, school or club match on your phone. Set up the two teams, tap the runs for every ball, mark wides, no balls, byes and leg byes, and record wickets with how the batter was out. The scorer keeps the batting and bowling cards, extras, fall of wickets, partnerships, the over-by-over record and the run rates, and in a chase it shows the runs needed, the balls left and the required rate.
The scoring follows the MCC Laws of Cricket: who faces after a wicket, which dismissals are possible off a wide or a no ball, how no-ball and wide runs are credited, maidens and penalty runs. Gully rules are settings: overs of 1 to 10 balls, 2 to 15 players a side, last man stands, wides that count as a ball. Everything stays in this browser, so a match survives a reload and works without a connection once the page has loaded. The full scorecard, its picture and PDF come with a pass; the free preview shows how it looks.
How to use it
- Enter the two team names and, if you like, the players in batting order (one per line), the overs per innings and who bats first. Open Match rules for balls per over, a bowler limit, last man stands, wide and no-ball runs or a free-hit.
- Choose the two opening batters and the bowler. After each over the scorer asks for the next bowler; it never offers the bowler of the last over.
- Tap the runs for each ball (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or more). For an extra, choose Wide, No ball, Bye or Leg bye first, then the runs the batters ran (or 4 for a boundary).
- For a wicket, tap Wicket, choose how out and, for a run out, who was out and at which end. Then choose the next batter. Undo takes back the last tap.
- Open Scorecard for the cards, extras, fall of wickets and partnerships, and Overs for the over-by-over record. The full scorecard, Download picture, Download PDF and Copy as text need a pass (Ways to unlock shows the options); the free preview shows the first half of each table.
Examples
1, 4, dot, wide, 6, 1 leg bye, bowled
13 runs, 1 wicket, over complete: the bowler is charged 12 (not the leg bye); the new batter comes in at the non-striker’s end after the change of ends
No ball, 4 off the bat
5 to the total: 4 to the batter, 1 no-ball extra, 5 against the bowler; the ball is faced but bowled again
Caught, the batters had crossed
The new batter faces the next ball (Law 18.11)
Target 150, score 128/4 after 17.0 of 20 overs
Need 22 from 18 balls, required rate 7.33
6-a-side, last man stands on, 5 wickets down
The last batter bats on alone and keeps the strike; the 6th wicket ends the innings
Common uses
- Gully, street and tennis-ball cricket, with house rules such as 8-ball overs, wides that count as a ball or last man stands.
- School and college matches where a teacher or captain keeps the book.
- Club and league games without a printed scorebook, with a picture of the card for the team chat.
- Practice matches and nets, to keep run rates and bowling figures over a season.
How the scoring works
The scorer follows the MCC Laws of Cricket:
- Overs of 6 valid balls; a wide or a no ball is not one of the over and is bowled again (Law 17). A bowler cannot bowl two overs in a row.
- Runs off the bat go to the striker. A no ball adds a 1-run no-ball extra; byes or leg byes run off it stay byes or leg byes. Everything from a wide counts as wides. The bowler is charged with runs off the bat, no balls and wides, never with byes or leg byes (Law 18.10).
- Who faces next: an odd number of runs run changes the strike; a boundary does not. After bowled, caught, LBW, stumped, hit wicket or hit the ball twice, the new batter comes in at the striker’s end (Law 18.11); after a run out, at the end where the wicket was broken.
- Dismissals off extras: off a no ball only run out, hit the ball twice or obstructing the field; off a wide only stumped, hit wicket, run out or obstructing the field (Laws 21.17 and 22.9). The bowler is credited only with bowled, caught, LBW, stumped and hit wicket.
- A maiden is a completed over in which the bowler concedes nothing: byes and leg byes do not spoil it.
- Results: the side batting second wins by the wickets it has left, the side batting first by runs; equal scores are a tie (Law 16).
Gully, box and club rules
Under Match rules you can set overs of 1 to 10 balls, 2 to 15 players a side, no over limit, a most-overs-per-bowler limit (one-fifth of the overs is the international rule), 0 to 2 runs for a wide or no ball, wides or no balls that count as a ball, and last man stands, where the last batter bats on alone and the innings ends at the last wicket.
The free-hit option follows the ICC playing conditions (ICC playing conditions): the ball after a no ball is a free-hit, it stays one after a wide or another no ball, and on it the striker can be out only as off a no ball.
Retirements, penalty runs and the end of an innings
More has the rarer events: a batter retired hurt (not out; they can come back when a wicket falls or another batter retires, Law 25.4.4) or retired out (a wicket), 5 penalty runs to either side (to the fielding side they go on its completed innings, or on its next one, as Law 41.17 says; they still count after a result, and if they take a win away the chase goes on), a bowler who is hurt during an over, ending an innings early (a declaration or bad light) and abandoning the match. Timed out is offered when a new batter is due.
Limitations
- One innings a side: two-innings (multi-day) matches, super overs and follow-ons are not covered.
- It does not work out rain-reduced targets: when a match is shortened, agree the target and end the innings or abandon the match.
- It scores what you tap: there is no wagon wheel, no pitch map and no sharing of a live score with other phones.
- The match is kept in this browser on this device: use Match file to move it to another device or keep it.
Privacy
Everything is worked out in your browser and nothing is uploaded. The match you are scoring (teams, players and every ball) is kept in this browser’s storage on this device, so it survives a reload; starting a new match replaces it.
Frequently asked questions
What do I get without a pass?
Without a pass, Cricket Scorer & Scorecard Maker shows live ball-by-ball scoring with the score, batters and bowler, and the first half of each scorecard table (up to 10 rows), also as a small marked picture. Until you unlock it, the result can’t be downloaded or copied. A Pro, Premium or Ultimate pass, a one-time payment that never renews, unlocks the full result. The pricing page lists the passes and their prices.
Who faces the next ball after a batter is caught?
The new batter, at the striker’s end, even if the batters crossed while the ball was in the air (Law 18.11). Only if the catch was the last ball of the over does the other batter face next, because the ends change.
Does a wide count as a ball?
Not in the Laws: a wide and a no ball are not part of the over, so the bowler bowls again. Many gully games count them; switch on “A wide counts as one of the over” under Match rules.
How are runs off a no ball scored?
The no ball itself is 1 extra. Runs hit off it go to the batter (and count against the bowler); runs that are byes or leg byes stay byes or leg byes. Choose No ball, then “Off the bat”, “Byes” or “Leg byes”, then the runs.
How do I score a run out?
Tap Wicket, choose Run out, then who was out, the runs they completed first and the end where the wicket was broken. The completed runs count; the new batter comes in at that end.
Does it work without internet?
Yes, once the page has loaded: scoring runs entirely in your browser and the match is kept on your device, so a weak signal at the ground does not matter.
