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. Enter team names (or use defaults) 4. Pick colors for each team 5. Select number of overs 6. Tap "Start Match" That's it! You're ready to score.

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.

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.

There's no limit on wickets! Unlike traditional cricket's 10-wicket limit, GULLY CRIX lets you record as many wickets as needed. The innings only ends when all overs are bowled, or you manually tap "All Out. End Innings". This is perfect for gully cricket where teams might play with fewer than 11 players.

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

You can choose from preset options: 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 50 overs. You can also use the +/- buttons to set any custom number up to 99 overs.

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.

Live Streaming lets you broadcast your match in real time so friends, family, and fans can follow every ball from wherever they are — no app needed. Just share a link and they're in. Viewers see ball-by-ball updates live in their browser.

A unique shareable link is generated instantly. 5. Share it via WhatsApp, Telegram, or copy to clipboard. 6. Score normally — viewers see updates in real time.

No! Viewers just open the link in any browser — on their phone, tablet, or computer. No account, no app download required.

Yes. You can pause the stream at any time and resume it later. The stream link stays active while paused so viewers can keep the page open. When you resume, updates flow again automatically.

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