How our newsroom is different

Most cricket news is the same few facts retold. We start from the same facts, then add what our database says: how a selected player has actually performed ball by ball, what a squad change means in numbers, how a record compares with every season we hold. Where we quote a fact reported elsewhere, we say so and link to the source.

Our database covers more than 850,000 professional deliveries: international T20 cricket, fourteen IPL seasons, every men's T20 World Cup, the PSL and women's internationals. When our coverage of something is partial, we say that inside the article rather than quietly rounding it up.
