Down the Ground - Match Player
Down the Ground - Match Player
A whole limited-overs match in your browser in about five minutes. Pick two sides, toss the coin, then roll 2d6 and watch the innings build, block by block, all the way to the run chase and the final ball.
This is the free companion app to Down the Ground, the tabletop cricket game. The full engine runs on screen - no setup, no maths - so you can play a quick match anywhere, or use it as a fast helper alongside the printed game.
Teams built right in:
- The 1990 Sunday League - all 17 counties rated from their real season
- The 1987 Cricket World Cup - all eight nations, with the subcontinent conditions
- A ready-made fictional village league, plus a custom team builder for your own sides
What it does:
- Animated 2d6 dice and a live scoreboard that builds over by over
- The toss, the conditions, batting modes and the run chase all handled for you
- Every table from the rulebook on a reference tab, plus the supplemental rollers - how out, who took the wicket, the catch, how the runs came and more
- Set the conditions by hand, or let the dice decide
- 40, 45, 50, 55 or 60 over formats, across three scoring eras
- Autosave so a refresh never loses your game, plus save-to-file and a CSV scorecard export
Play it straight in the browser, or download it and it runs offline by double-click - no install, works on any device.
Want to play it properly at the table? The full Down the Ground game gives you the printed rules, the table library, the scoresheets and the season trackers to run a whole campaign by hand.
