About Anjali

Anjali covers the cricket itself: what the playing conditions actually say, how a format changes a game, and whether a record being quoted is the record that exists. Ten years around club and age-group cricket in Pune, first as a scorer, then writing about it.

Rule claims on this site are checked against the ICC or board text rather than a news summary, and the source is linked on the page. Cricket pages are read back by Rajeev Sathe before they go out.

What this role covers

  • T20, ODI and Test playing conditions

  • DLS, DRS and net run rate

  • League formats, schedules and qualification

  • Match and record facts

Where the role stops

These pages explain the game, not what to bet on it. No page here predicts a result or recommends a market.

How a page with this name on it is checked

Anjali does not publish alone. Every page is read back by a second person before it goes out, and the byline names both. The standard both work to is in our editorial policy, and the method behind the numbers is set out in how we test.

Sources are linked in the page itself, primary text first. Where something cannot be checked yet, the page says so instead of guessing. Anything found wrong after publication is logged on the corrections page with the date and what changed.
