How to record a ball: runs, dots and boundaries

Quick MatchFull Match

Tap the runs scored on the number pad — DOT, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 — then tap NEXT BALL to confirm. The score, over timeline and both batters' figures all update together.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Tap what happened

    DOT for no run, or the number of runs scored. The button highlights so you can check it before it counts.

    Tap what happened
  2. 2

    Tap NEXT BALL

    Nothing is recorded until you confirm — the two-step means a mis-tap costs you nothing.

Reading the screen

  • Score panel — total, wickets, overs bowled out of the total, and the projected or required score.
  • Batter cards — runs, balls faced and strike rate. The yellow dot marks who is on strike.
  • Bowling bar — the current bowler's wickets, runs conceded and overs.
  • Over timeline — the six circles filling up as the over goes on, colour-coded by outcome.

Strike rotation is automatic

Odd runs swap the strike, even runs don't, and the ends change at the end of every over — you never tap anything to make that happen. If the strike is somehow wrong, the swap button between the two batter cards puts it right.

More than six runs

The button covers the unusual numbers — overthrows that ran five, or the seven your gully awards for clearing the compound wall.

Made a mistake? Undo steps back a ball at a time, as far as you need, and Redo puts it back.

What is a dot ball in cricket?

A legal delivery from which no runs are scored. It counts toward the over and as a ball faced by the batter.

In Gully Crix, yes. Odd runs swap the strike, even runs do not, and the ends change at the end of each over — you never tap anything for it.
