T20 Cricket Management

Death Overs

You never face a ball. You run the club.

One season to take a mid-table T20 side to the title. The board wants the top four, and they will not wait for you to find your feet.

Name your club, take the job, and find out whether you can keep it.

Bowl the last over.

A dozen or so to get, six balls, two wickets in hand. You set the intent, the game does the rest. It runs the real engine, it takes about a minute, and there is nothing to sign up for.

What it looks like

A second-innings chase: 24 needed off 12, with the field map below the commentary
Twenty-four off twelve, and the field is spread.
Bowling with an attacking field set, catchers in close around the bat
Catchers in. Wickets, or boundaries.

What you actually do

The match

Choose your openers. Set the batting intent. Decide the bowling over by over — nobody bowls more than four, nobody bowls two in a row. Burn your best bowler early and you'll hand the nineteenth to a part-timer.

The squad

Ratings, ages, form and temperament. Some are ambitious, some loyal, some mercurial. Some can't handle spin. Some are in their final year and will walk for nothing.

The money

Home gates and sponsorship pay for the season. The wage bill is charged every match, home or away. Sign too many players and you will not last the year.

The season

Fourteen matches, eight clubs, one table. Miss the board's target twice and you're gone. Do well and there's a trophy cabinet to fill.

Free, and honest about it

You can play every season, sign every player and win every trophy without spending anything. Ads are optional and give you something back inside the game — a sponsor puts money into the club account, or a fresh list of players comes onto the market. Nothing is locked behind them.

No account. No sign-up. Your career is saved on your own phone.
