FIick Cricket App

FIick Cricket sits in a specific, useful niche: it's not a scoreboard, not a stats tracker, and not a fantasy league tool. It's a planning and logging utility for the person responsible for fielding decisions — typically a captain or coach standing at the boundary, phone in hand, trying to remember who's bowled three overs already.

Squad and Playing XI

The squad screen lets you build a player list and tag each person by role — batsman, wicket keeper, or bowler. From there, you confirm your Playing XI before the game begins. The layout is a vertical list of player cards on a dark navy background with white text, kept deliberately simple so decisions can be made quickly. An Auto-Fill option in the bowling plan can distribute overs across available bowlers, which saves time when you're building a rotation from scratch.

Bowling Plan and Over Log

The bowling plan screen is the heart of the app. You select a format — T20 or ODI — and assign bowlers to specific overs, with the app tracking the maximum overs per bowler automatically. Each over in the plan can carry phase labels: powerplay, middle overs, or death overs. As the innings progresses, you log each over with quick tags — wickets (W), wides (Wd), no-balls (NB), byes (B), and leg byes (LB) — plus a free-text note field for anything else worth remembering. A field checklist per over lets you note positioning details like catching positions or ring fielders.

Reports and Export

After the innings, the app summarizes overs per bowler and key events broken down by phase. You can export the full match card as a plain TXT file to share or archive. Optional demo data is included so you can explore the interface before entering your own squad. The app also supports haptic feedback and a large-text display option.

The color-coding system — red for wickets, orange for wides, purple for no-balls, green for general status — does a lot of heavy lifting across the interface. For users with color vision deficiencies, this creates a real readability problem, since the tags carry no alternative text indicators. It's a meaningful limitation for an app that otherwise handles match-day pressure well.

The Feel of the Game

The app icon sets the tone: a wooden cricket bat angled in the lower left, a red leather ball caught mid-flight in the upper right, and behind both of them a gradient that runs from deep blue sky down to bright green grass — exactly the view from the outfield. That same visual logic runs through the whole interface. The blue-to-green color scheme isn't decoration; it's the geometry of the ground rendered as a UI. If you've ever stood at mid-on watching the scorecard in your head, the app has a familiar spatial logic to it.
