About us
India’s tennis-ball county game — scored live from the crease, watched by anyone with the link.
County Cricket is for scorers on the boundary and the group watching from the shade. Create a Target, Head to Head, or Double header in seconds. Score ball by ball offline. When the phone finds data, the live board on countycricket.app updates on its own. Share a link or a profile QR. Go Live to YouTube if you want the camera on the same match — with the score burned into the video. Version 1.0 is the first official release.
Our story
Most of the cricket people play in India — a tennis ball, a society ground, a lane between two buildings, a corporate pitch on a Sunday — leaves no record. Nobody keeps a card, the score is argued about afterwards, and the friends who could not come never find out what happened.
So County Cricket starts with the scorer. A phone on the boundary, a pad you can use with one thumb, and a scoreboard that keeps working when the signal does not. Everything else — the public website, sharing, badges, streaming — grows out of one properly scored match.
Who it is for
The person with the phone. A one-handed pad, offline scoring, undo, and a finished scorecard at the end.
Every match you play builds your Performance page and badges, and a place on the Leaderboard.
Create or schedule a match, name a scorer and a streamer, share the link, and fix a mistake afterwards.
Family, teammates, and friends who are not at the ground. They follow on countycricket.app with no account — or in the app.
How it works
Pick Target, Head to Head, or Double header, 1–2 a side, then the ball, pitch, ground, and players. Optionally name a scorer and a streamer.
Set overs, extra balls, extra runs, wickets, fielders, the toss, and the target. Then Start scoring.
Runs, wides, no-balls, wickets, and undo. Each ball is saved on the phone before anything is sent, so the network never blocks a tap.
When the phone has data, balls reach the website and other phones in order. Share the link, a scorecard image, or a profile QR.
Anyone can follow live in a browser. Go Live sends the camera to your YouTube channel with the score in the picture.
The app
Sign in with a one-time code. Create or schedule a match (1–2 a side), set overs on Let’s Play, and score wides, no-balls, wickets, and an optional wagon wheel. Assign a scorer or streamer in Match Crew and transfer either from Match settings. Follow, stories, chat, badges, the Leaderboard, and notifications stay here.
This site
No login. Live boards, scorecards, Insights, Commentary, Gallery, live video, search, and public player pages, with a Share button on every match. Stories, chat, and follow lists are not on the web. We never take a scoring change from these pages — Edit score is in the app after a completed match.
On the ground
01
Hard or soft tennis. Turf, cement, or soil. Ball type is on every card so a society game is never read as 11-a-side.
02
One-handed pad: runs 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, Wd, Nb, Wicket, and Undo, with this-over chips and the need-rate line. After 1–6, pick a wagon zone or skip.
03
Every ball saves on the phone first. The public board is the last successful sync — not a live wire into the pad.
04
Optional scorer and streamer at create. Transfer either role while the match is live or delayed. Old balls stay on the card.
05
Installed app only. Organiser or assigned streamer. The score is burned into the video, and a second phone can take over without ending it. Video lives on your YouTube channel; we do not host it.
06
Follow players and grounds from Search, the Follow tab, or a profile. Stories last 24 hours and are in-app only. A profile QR opens the public player page.
07
Players, groups (side names), grounds, and locations. Three characters to start. Phone numbers are never shown.
08
1:1 only, and only when you both follow each other. Opens from the chat icon on Home — not the notifications list.
09
98 badges unlock on their own as matches complete. The Leaderboard ranks batting and bowling for each style, with your row pinned.

What we hold to
A ball is saved on the phone before it is sent. The network can be slow or gone and scoring carries on.
One or two a side is still a proper match, with a card, a result line, and a history.
A match has a single scoring seat, so two phones cannot both change the score. Corrections are drafted and published by the organiser or the assigned scorer, up to five times per match.
Scores, display names, avatars, venues, and match photos are public with the link. Phone numbers and dates of birth are never shown to other people, and chat, follow lists, and stories stay in the app.
The app is free and has no advertising. The website has no login and sets no advertising cookies.
What is next
1.0 leaves some things out on purpose: the iPhone App Store release, wagon-wheel charts, in-app replays, changing your number yourself, fielding badges, and teams and tournaments. We keep that list public, without dates.
