A simple PlayHQ alternative for social cricket

If your club plays in an official association competition, PlayHQ is usually required for those fixtures. But plenty of cricket happens outside that: Twilight and midweek T20s, corporate and workplace leagues, social Sunday comps, indoor-style formats, multicultural community leagues and pre-season or charity games.

Crickova lets those leagues set their own rules — overs, wides, no-balls and LBW — and run their own competition without needing association setup.

• Social and midweek T20
• Corporate and workplace leagues
• Community and multicultural comps
• Your own match rules

The scorer taps each ball on a phone: runs, extras and wickets. Crickova keeps the total, overs, bowler figures, free hits and the chase target up to date, and finishes the innings and match automatically.

There's no special device or training session needed — if your scorer can use a phone, they can score a game.

• Ball-by-ball score pad
• Automatic innings and result
• Required run rate in the chase
• Bowler over limits

Every player gets their own stats page with batting, bowling, dismissals and match-by-match figures, plus a profile photo. Tap a name on any scorecard to see it.

Season leaderboards show the top run scorers and wicket takers across your competition.

• Personal stats pages
• Profile photos
• Season leaderboards
• Match-by-match history

Fifties, hundreds, three- and five-wicket hauls and player of the match are turned into shareable milestone cards automatically.

Send live and completed scorecards, milestone cards, fixtures and invitations straight to your team's WhatsApp group so everyone can follow along.

• Automatic milestone cards

Yes. Many clubs keep PlayHQ for their official association fixtures and use Crickova for social, midweek and corporate games. Start with a single league or one match to try it.
