Gully Cricket
FAQ

Gully cricket is the informal, street-style cricket played in lanes, parks, and open grounds across India and the world. GULLY CRIX is the best gully cricket scoring app — a simple, fast scorer designed specifically for turf and gully cricket matches. It lets you track your gully cricket score ball-by-ball without needing an internet connection.

No! GULLY CRIX works without any login or account. Just download, accept the terms, and start scoring your first match in under 10 seconds.

Yes, absolutely. The app is built "offline-first" - all your match data is stored on your phone. You don't need internet to score matches. If you have internet, some data syncs in the background for analytics purposes (which you can disable).

1. Open the app 2. Tap "Start a new match" 3. Choose your mode: • Quick Match — fast, anonymous scoring. Enter team names, pick colors, select overs, and go. • Full Match — player-level scoring. Pick two saved team sheets from your Squad Book, toss the coin, set your rules (overs, bowler caps, Last Man Standing, Common Player, arena, ball type), and pick your openers. Quick Match has you scoring in under 10 seconds. Full Match takes a couple of minutes the first time, and is much faster once your team sheets are saved.

Quick Match is the classic GULLY CRIX experience — two team names and instant tap-to-score, no player names needed. Full Match (new in 3.0) adds player-level scoring: named batters and bowlers from your Squad Book, every dismissal type recorded properly, a real scorecard with fall of wickets, and career stats that build up for every player across matches. Both modes are free and work offline.

Yes! Every ball is auto-saved. If you close the app or your phone dies, just reopen the app - you'll see a "Resume Match" card on the home screen. Tap it to continue exactly where you left off.

The Squad Book is where your regular players live. Add each player once — name, alias, batting hand, bowling style, plus an optional photo, profile colour, and phone number. From there you build reusable Team Sheets, so next weekend both teams are one tap away. Find it on the home screen, or you'll be guided into it the first time you start a Full Match.

A Team Sheet is a saved team — a name, a colour, and a set of players from your Squad Book. You can tag a wicket-keeper (WK) and captain (C); the keeper is pre-filled automatically when you record a stumping. Players can appear in more than one team sheet — the app shows you when someone is already in another team.

When sides are uneven, gully cricket's classic fix is one player batting for both teams. In Full Match setup, tap "Common player" and pick anyone from your Squad Book — even someone who isn't in either team sheet. Their innings are scored separately for each side they bat for.

A gully rule made official. With Last Man Standing ON, the final batter keeps batting alone after the rest of the side is out (they run both ends themselves). Switch it OFF and the innings ends one wicket earlier, like conventional cricket. Set it during Full Match setup, before the toss.

All of them: Bowled, Caught (you credit the catcher), LBW, Run Out, Stumped (keeper pre-filled), Hit Wicket, Obstructing the Field, Hit the Ball Twice, Retired Hurt, Retire Out, and Timed Out. The wicket dialog is context-aware (3.1) — it only offers the dismissals that are actually possible: if runs were scored off the ball it shows just Run Out or Obstructing the Field, and on a free hit only Run Out, Obstructing the Field or Hit the Ball Twice. Run outs are a quick two-step flow: pick which batter is out, then choose the end they were run out at (striker's or non-striker's) and credit up to two fielders. Gully Crix works out the runs completed and brings the new batter in at the correct end automatically — no more "did they cross?" guesswork.

No. A retired-hurt batter is not dismissed — no wicket is counted, and they stay in the Next Batter list so they can walk back in later. When they return, they resume from the same score and balls faced.

No. At the end of each over the app asks who bowls next, and whoever bowled the last over is locked out. It also enforces the max-overs-per-bowler cap you set during match setup. Picked the wrong bowler by accident? Tap the bowler's name to change them before their first ball. Bowler injured mid-over? Swap them and someone else finishes the over.

They record where you played (Turf, Ground, Street, Mohalla, or Stadium) and what you played with (Tennis, Tape, Leather, Rubber, Plastic, or Wind ball). They're not just labels — every player's career stats can be filtered by arena and ball type, so you can see how someone bats on turf vs the street, or with tennis vs tape.

Every Full Match automatically feeds the career record of each player involved. Open any player in your Squad Book to see batting (matches, runs, average, strike rate, high score, 4s, 6s, 50s, 100s, not-outs) and bowling (wickets, best figures, economy) — with filters for arena and ball type. No uploads, no sync button, no subscription.

No. Quick Matches are anonymous by design — there are no player names, so nothing is attributed to anyone. Only Full Matches feed career stats.

Yes (new in 3.1). Quick Match now carries the same live header as Full Match — overs, current run rate, the partnership at the crease and a projected score — plus a Stats screen with an Innings tab (the match-progress worm and over-by-over graph) and a Partnerships tab, all updating as you score. It still doesn't save per-player career stats, since Quick Match has no player names.

In a Full Match, tap "Scorecard" any time to see the complete picture: a batting card with dismissal details (like "c Jitendra b Pankaj"), strike rates, extras and yet-to-bat; bowling figures with economy; fall of wickets; a Stats tab with the match progress worm and over-by-over charts; and an Over by Over tab with every ball of every over (now naming the bowler of each over).

Yes (new in 3.1). The scorecard carries a full partnerships breakdown for both innings — every stand shown as runs(balls) with a proportional bar, who was involved and how much each batter contributed, plus the score at which each wicket fell. You'll find it in both Quick Match and Full Match.

1. Select the runs scored (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6) 2. If it's an extra, tap the extra type first (Wide, No Ball, Bye, Leg Bye, or Wicket) 3. Tap "Next Ball" to confirm The two-step process prevents accidental scoring mistakes on the field.

• W (Wicket): Records a wicket • wd (Wide): Adds 1 extra run, ball doesn't count • nb (No Ball): Adds 1 extra run, ball doesn't count, plus any runs scored • lb (Leg Bye): Runs scored off pads, ball counts as legal • b (Bye): Runs scored without hitting bat or pad, ball counts as legal

Yes! Tap the No Ball button first, then tap the runs scored off that delivery. For example: No Ball + 4 runs = 5 total runs (1 penalty + 4 off the bat).

Use the "Undo" button below the "This Over" display. It removes the last ball recorded. If you undo by mistake, use "Redo" to bring it back.

In Quick Match, there's no limit on wickets! Record as many as needed — the innings only ends when all overs are bowled, or you manually tap "All Out. End Innings". Perfect for gully cricket where teams play with fewer than 11 players. In Full Match, the squad size sets the limit: the innings ends when the side is all out (or one wicket earlier if Last Man Standing is off). Each wicket records the proper dismissal — bowled, caught, run out, and so on.

After 6 legal deliveries, the over automatically completes. Wides and No Balls don't count toward the 6 balls.

Quick-pick presets are one tap away (like 5, 10, 20, 35, or 50 overs), and the +/- stepper lets you set any custom number up to 99 overs. In Full Match you can also cap the maximum overs per bowler — the app enforces it when you pick the next bowler.

No, each team must have a different color. When you pick a color for one team, that color becomes unavailable for the other team. There are 16 colors to choose from.

A target is calculated automatically. You'll see the target screen showing "[Team B] needs X runs from Y balls to win." Tap "Start Next Innings" to continue.

• Win by runs: If the batting team doesn't reach the target when overs end • Win by wickets: If the batting team reaches the target with balls remaining • Tie: If scores are exactly equal when overs end If the match ends in a tie, you can settle it with a Super Over or Bowl Out — both are built into the app.

Yes! Tap "All Out. End Innings" at the bottom of the scoring screen. A confirmation will appear to prevent accidental taps.

You'll see a tiebreaker options screen with three choices: • Super Over — each team bats one over, highest scorer wins • Bowl Out — five bowlers from each side bowl at a single stump, most hits wins • End as Tie — record it as a draw and move on Both Super Over and Bowl Out are fully supported with complete scoring.

1. Tap "Super Over" on the tiebreaker screen. 2. The first team bats one over — score it like any normal over (wides, no-balls, wickets all count). 3. The second team sees their target and bats to chase it. 4. The winner is declared automatically once both teams have batted. Full scoring support: wides, no-balls, wickets — everything tracked just like a regular over.

If the Super Over ends in a tie, you can play another one! Tap "Play Another Super Over" and Gully Crix keeps going until someone wins. There's no limit — just keep playing Super Overs until a winner is found.

Bowl Out is cricket's version of a penalty shootout — perfect when you only have a few minutes left. 1. Tap "Bowl Out" from the tiebreaker screen. 2. Enter five bowlers for each team. 3. Record each delivery: Hit (stump hit) or Miss. 4. The team with the most hits after five deliveries each wins. 5. If still tied, it goes to sudden death. Best used when there's no time for a full Super Over.

• Super Over: When you have time for a full extra over and want a proper cricket resolution. • Bowl Out: When time is very limited (5 minutes or less) — it's faster and still exciting. Both are equally valid ways to break a tie.

Yes! After the final ball, Gully Crix generates a clean match result card showing both teams' scores. Tap "Share" on the match result screen and send it via WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, or save it to your photos. No screenshots of ugly tables — just a slick card that looks great in any group chat.

Open the match and tap "Share" to pick any combination of cards (new in 3.1): the Match Summary (result and both teams' scores), each innings' Scorecard, the Stats graphs (worm and over-by-over), the ball-by-ball Over by Over, and player-award cards. Gully Crix renders them as clean branded images — save them to a "GullyCrix" album in your gallery, or send them straight to WhatsApp, Instagram or your team group.

After a Full Match, Gully Crix picks out the standout performers — Player of the Match, Super Hitter (most sixes), Wicket Taker (most wickets) and Container of the Match (most economical bowler) — and turns each into a shareable card showing the player's figures.

Yes — Live Streaming requires an internet connection since it broadcasts your scores in real time. Regular scoring (without streaming) still works fully offline.

It shows all deliveries in the current over as circles: • 0 = Dot ball • 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 = Runs scored • W = Wicket • wd = Wide • nb = No Ball • R = Retired batter (Full Match) Tapping the current over opens the over-by-over breakdown.

The redesigned header (3.1) packs in the overs bowled, the current run rate, and the live partnership at the crease. • First innings: it also shows a projected score. • Second innings: it shows the equation — runs needed off the balls remaining. The same header now appears in both Quick Match and Full Match.

Tap the current over on the scoring screen, or open the Scorecard / Match Stats view. You'll see every over's runs and wickets, a ball-by-ball breakdown with total 4s, 6s and extras, plus the match progress worm and over-by-over comparison charts.

Different sounds play for different events: • Dot ball: Soft sound • Single: Shot sound • Big hits (2, 3, 5): Running sound • Four: Boundary celebration • Six: Maximum celebration • No Ball: Umpire call • Victory: Celebration sound with confetti!
