Editorial policy

Clear Cricket Guide aims to explain cricket accurately and in plain English. We separate established rules and definitions from interpretation, and try to make the difference clear whenever it matters.

Accuracy and clarity

We check explanations against reliable descriptions of the game and take care with terminology. A rule, tactic or custom may work differently across formats or circumstances; where that distinction matters, we say so rather than flattening it into a tidy but misleading rule. Our articles are for general understanding, not a substitute for the applicable playing conditions.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial choices are made for their relevance to readers. A paid or partner-supported feature is identified clearly as sponsored or partner material, and commercial involvement does not turn into an undisclosed endorsement. Partner placements are labelled so readers can tell them apart from editorial coverage.

Corrections and illustrations

If you spot an error, contact us with the article title and the detail in question. We review correction requests and amend wording when warranted. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; when used, they are identified as such and should not be treated as documentary images.
