Editorial policy

Fresh Cricket Guide aims to make cricket easier to understand without making the game sound tidier than it is. We distinguish established rules from interpretation, explain the scope of an article, and correct errors when they are identified.

Accuracy and clarity

We check explanations against dependable published material relevant to the subject and make clear when a point is an interpretation rather than a rule. Cricket has different formats and playing conditions, so an article should identify the context it describes and avoid suggesting that one example applies everywhere.

Independence

Editorial decisions are made for readers, not partners. A partnership does not buy favourable coverage, control an article’s conclusions or guarantee inclusion in editorial recommendations. We do not present promotional claims as independent explanation.

Corrections

Readers can flag a possible error through the Contact page. We review the point, update the wording when warranted and make material corrections clear in the article. A correction should improve the explanation, not quietly disguise a meaningful change.

Partner material and illustrations

Paid, supplied or collaborative material is labelled so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial work. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; where that applies, the image is identified accordingly. Illustrations are not presented as photographic evidence of a match.
