Single-side batting: scoring with one batter at a time

Quick MatchFull Match

Turn on Single-side batting in Gully Rules during match setup. One batter bats alone — no non-striker, no strike rotation, no partnerships. When they are out, the next batter comes in alone.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Open Gully Rules during setup

    On the match setup screen, open the Gully Rules section and turn on Single-side batting — it lives under Batting Format.

    Score as normal

    The scoring screen shows a single batter card spanning the row. Everything else — runs, extras, wickets — works exactly the same.

What changes on the scoring screen

  • One batter card — there is no non-striker, so the second card and the strike-swap button disappear.
  • No strike rotation — odd runs and over changes never swap the batter, because there is nobody to swap with.
  • No partnerships — the partnership figures are hidden for the whole match, since a stand needs two batters.

Last man standing comes with it

Turning on single-side batting locks Last man standing on as well, and the app will tell you so if you try to switch it off. That is deliberate: every batter in a single-side innings is, by definition, batting alone — the innings only ends when the last of them is out.

Yes, a lone batter can be run out

Real gully rules apply: a single batter running two is still running, and the app allows a run-out against a lone batter rather than pretending the dismissal cannot happen.

Single-side batting works in both Quick Match and Full Match, and combines with the other gully rules — unequal teams, late joiners, no wide runs and the rest.

People also ask

What is single side batting in gully cricket?

One batter bats at a time with no partner at the other end. There is no non-striker, the strike never rotates, and there are no partnerships — common when there are too few players for a normal game.

How do you score cricket with one batsman?

Score every ball to the same batter, since the strike never changes ends. Gully Crix does this automatically once single-side batting is switched on, and hides the second batter card and partnership figures.

Can a single batsman be run out?

Yes. A lone batter running two can still be run out, and Gully Crix allows the dismissal rather than pretending it cannot happen.
