Crics Live FAQ

Crics Live is an independent cricket website with live scores that refresh by themselves, full scorecards, match reports, news, fixtures in your own time zone, points tables and free cricket calculators. It is free to use and needs no account.

While a match is in play the score refreshes by itself about every 20 seconds. When nothing is in play the page checks once a minute. You do not need to reload. Expect the score to be a few seconds to a minute behind what happens at the ground.

The scores are read from a public scoreboard data feed. The site turns that feed into the live score, the scorecards, the results and the points tables. If the feed is late or wrong for a moment, the page is late or wrong with it, and it corrects itself on a later refresh.

The live score, the batters at the crease, the last balls, the batting and bowling cards, the fall of wickets, the playing XIs and the key moments. In a limited-overs chase a chase meter shows how the batting side stands against the target. The score also appears in the browser tab title, so you can follow it while you work in another tab.

Data saver is a switch in the menu. When it is on, the pages ask for new scores three times less often, which uses less mobile data and battery. The scores still update by themselves, only more slowly. The setting is kept in your browser.

Open a match page and turn on the alert switch. Your browser asks for permission to show notifications. After that you get a notification for each wicket, each change of innings and the result of that match.

Alerts work only while the match page stays open in a tab. The page itself spots the wicket and shows the notification. There is no push server, so closing the tab or the browser ends the alerts. Also check that notifications are still allowed for the site in your browser settings.

Tap the star next to a team name. That team’s matches then move to the top of the lists. Tap the star again to stop following. The My Teams page shows every side you follow.

No. The names of the teams you follow are stored in the browser you used and never leave that device. There is no account to carry them across, so star the teams again on each device. Clearing the site data in your browser removes them.

Your own. The schedule shows every start time in the time zone your phone or computer is set to, so there is nothing to convert. If you travel and your device changes time zone, the times change with it.

Yes. Each fixture on the schedule has an add to calendar button. It puts the match into the calendar on your phone or computer with the right start time.

The reports are written automatically from the site’s own scorecard data soon after a match ends: the result, the totals, the top scores and the best bowling. Before a report is published, a rule checks every number in it against the scorecard. The articles are produced with AI assistance.

A brief is a short write-up, in the desk’s own words, of a story first reported by another outlet. Each brief carries a credit line and a link to the original report. No quotes, photos or sentences are copied. Sensitive stories, such as legal matters, allegations and health, are left out of the automatic desk.

Yes. It is the same site. Crics Live is the name on the page and Cricket Live is a second name people use for it. The address is cricslive.com.

It is free and there is no account or sign-up. Scores, scorecards, reports, news, fixtures, points tables and the three calculators are open to everyone.

No. The site is independent. It is not connected to any cricket board, league, team, broadcaster or other score website. It has no betting, no odds, no tips and no fantasy advice, and it does not stream matches.

The site sets no cookies of its own and runs no advertising trackers. A few settings are kept in your browser: the teams you follow, the Data saver setting, the alert switch for each match and the last competition you chose on the points table. The privacy policy lists each one.

Email [email protected]. For a score, name the match and the innings and say what is wrong. For an article, send the link and the sentence that needs fixing. We aim to answer within a few working days.
