What this site is
CricketTaken is an independent cricket reference. The statistics here are computed from ball-by-ball match records by scripts written for this site, not copied from a commercial statistics provider. The method, the sources and the known gaps are all set out on the about page.
Accuracy, and its limits
Everything is published in good faith and checked as far as it reasonably can be, but it is provided as-is. No warranty is given that any figure is complete or free of error.
The coverage limits matter and are stated wherever they apply. The ball-by-ball archive behind the international figures begins in 2001 for Tests and 2002 for One Day Internationals, so careers that started earlier are partial and are labelled as such. Afghanistan men’s internationals are withheld by the source. Men’s and women’s matches are never combined. Big Bash figures are men’s only. Ashes career figures come from published Test records rather than ball-by-ball data.
None of this is a substitute for an official scorecard. Do not rely on it for anything that matters financially, and in particular do not rely on it for betting. If you find an error, the contact page explains how to report it and what happens next.
Using the figures
You are welcome to quote figures from this site in an article, a video, a forum post or a piece of research. Please attribute CricketTaken and link to the page you took them from, so a reader can check the arithmetic themselves.
Statistics derived from Cricsheet are used under CC BY 4.0, which requires attribution to Cricsheet as well. If you are republishing figures that come from that source, credit both.
What is not welcome is bulk scraping to reproduce the site, or republishing whole articles. The written content is original work and is protected as such.
No affiliation
This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the International Cricket Council, the BCCI, Cricket Australia, the England and Wales Cricket Board, any other national board, any league, any franchise, any broadcaster or any ground. Team names, competition names and player names are used descriptively, as any reference work uses them.
Advertising and analytics
The site carries advertising served by Google AdSense and uses Google Analytics to understand which pages are read. What that involves, and what you can do about it, is set out on the privacy page.
Links to other sites
Where this site links out, it links to primary sources — boards, the ICC, official competition pages, licensed data archives. Those sites have their own terms and their own privacy practices, and this site is not responsible for what they publish.
Changes
These terms may change as the site does. The version on this page is the one that applies.
