How to record a practice session
Time your practice with the app. Then save how many balls you faced and bowled.
Who can do this
Anyone with an account. You record only your own practice.
Before you start
You are signed in to the CricoScore app (see How to sign in).
Internet helps, but you can practise and save without it.
Steps
Start a session
In the bottom bar, tap My Cricket.
Under PRACTICE, tap Practice. The Practice screen opens.
Tap Start Practice. The timer starts at once.
Go and practise. The screen shows Practising, the clock and "Started at …".
You can close the app. The timer keeps counting. To come back, open Practice and tap the Session running card.
Take a break and finish
Tap Pause for a break. The screen shows Paused. Paused time is not counted.
Tap Resume to carry on.
When you are done, tap End Practice. The Practice summary opens.
Fill in the summary
Check Practice duration. Is it wrong? Tap Adjust and type the minutes. Tap Use timer to go back to the timer's time.
In Batting balls faced, type how many balls you faced. Type 0 if you did not bat.
In Bowling balls delivered, type how many balls you bowled. Type 0 if you did not bowl.
Check Practice date. If you practised past midnight, tap the right day.
You can write in Notes (only you can see these). For example: "Worked on the pull shot."
You can tap More details (optional). Add fielding, fitness and warm-up minutes, a location and the Intensity (Light, Moderate or Hard).
Tap Save session. The app shows "Nice work. This session is in your record."
Tap Back to dashboard. Your totals and streak now include this session.
Tapped End Practice too early? On the summary, tap Back to timer.
Throw away a session
On the timer screen or the summary, tap Discard session.
Tap Discard. Changed your mind? Tap Keep practising (or Keep it on the summary).
Record a rest day
A planned rest day keeps your streak safe. See Your practice record and reminders.
Open Practice.
Tap Taking a planned rest day today? It now says "Rest day recorded. Tap to undo."
This line shows only on a day when you have not practised. A session must not be running.
Common problems
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| "A practice session must be at least 1 minute." | Practise a little longer, or tap Discard session. |
| "Enter a number from 0 to 10000. Use 0 if you did not bat." | Type a number in the box. Type 0 if you did not bat or bowl. |
| "1 finished session waiting for a connection. Saved on this phone, not lost." | Turn on your internet. The app sends it by itself. |
| My running session is gone | A timer stops after 24 hours. That session is not counted. Start a new one. |
| I can't tap the rest day line | Check your internet, then try again. |
| The Practice screen asks me to sign in | Tap Sign in. You need an account to record practice. |
