Before you start

Record a wicket

  1. Tap the red OUT key. Wicket — Dismissal Details opens.

  2. Under DISMISSAL TYPE, tap how the batter was out:

    • Bowled

    • Caught

    • LBW

    • Run Out

    • Stumped

  3. Not in the list? Tap More. You then also see Hit Wicket, Timed Out, Mankad, Retired Out and Retired Hurt.

  4. Caught or stumped? You can tap Select fielder… and choose the fielder. You can skip this.

  5. Under NEXT BATSMAN, tap Select next batter….

  1. Tap the new batter's name. The wicket is recorded now. You see Wicket recorded — Caught at the bottom.

Run out

  1. Tap OUT, then tap Run Out.

  2. Under WHO IS OUT?, tap the batter who is out: Striker or Non-striker.

  3. Under OUT ON WHICH RUN?, tap the run they were going for. Out going for the 2nd run? Tap 2. The app adds the 1 run they finished.

  4. If you like, choose the fielder under RUN OUT BY — FIELDER (OPTIONAL).

  5. Tap Select next batter…, then the new batter's name.

A wicket on a wide or a no ball

  • Wide: tap WD, then Wicket on this wide (stumped, hit wicket, run out). You can choose only Stumped, Hit Wicket or Run Out.

  • No ball: tap NB, then Run out on this no-ball. Run Out is already chosen.

The wide or no ball (1 run) still counts. The ball is bowled again. Full steps: Wicket on a wide or no ball.

Undo a wicket at once

  1. Look at the bottom of the screen. Wicket recorded — … shows with an Undo button for 5 seconds.

  2. Tap Undo. The wicket and that ball are taken back.

Missed the 5 seconds? Tap the Undo key instead. See How to fix mistakes.
