Match diaries
Criko Diaries
One Sunday match at a time: what each game taught our team.
Every Sunday our team, Kingslayer, plays a 20-over match. Criko Diaries is where we write up what each game taught us: the moments that decided it and the numbers behind them.
We score every match ball by ball in the Criko app, so every figure in these posts comes from the real scorecard.
