Editorial policy

Grand Cricket Guide aims to make cricket easier to understand without overstating what an explanation can do. We distinguish established rules from interpretation, keep articles focused, and welcome readers’ questions and corrections.

Accuracy and clarity

We check factual claims against reliable cricket references available to us and take care with distinctions between formats, laws and common practice. Explanations should make clear what is a rule, what is a tactical choice and what is an interpretation. We do not present opinion as fact or promise that every match will follow a pattern.

Independence

Editorial decisions are made for readers interested in understanding cricket. A commercial relationship does not determine our explanations or conclusions. We do not accept payment in exchange for favourable editorial coverage.

Corrections

If you spot an error or an unclear passage, contact us with the article and the point in question. We review correction requests and amend material when warranted, taking care that a change improves accuracy rather than simply changing the view expressed.

Partners and illustrations

Any paid, supplied or otherwise partner-supported material is labelled clearly so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial work. Some illustrations may be generated with AI; where they are, we identify them as AI-generated and do not use them as evidence of a real match or event.
