EXPLAINER

Why a chase looks different when you read the required rate every two overs

Most viewers feel a chase in waves. The bookkeepers read the required run rate every two overs. That subtle difference shows up in captaincy decisions and selection calls — and we built a short explainer to walk through it.

How we tell you where a report came from

PRIMARY

Boards, teams and official releases

We treat any named board, franchise or governing-body release as primary. Where the board does not release a date, we publish what is verified and say what isn't.

PRESS

Press conferences

Pressers are quoted with their full original wording, not paraphrased. If a quote is truncated for length, we show the ellipsis.

NEWSROOM

Newsroom reporting

Newsroom reports carry a named writer and a deck-tested source line. We do not run "according to sources" without describing who, when and at what confidence.
