Four analyst tools for fantasy cricket XI building on indibet: pitch assessment, weather check, selection board and credit calculator. Each is a single read; together they tell you whether your XI is buildable.
The desk doesn't lock an XI without running four checks first. Each tool is a single read; together they tell you whether your XI is buildable.
An analyst's working kit is simple: a closed laptop, a calculator, a weather meter, a stopwatch, a cricket ball, and blank cards for tactical notes. Nothing digital is open before the toss.
The discipline is the read, not the tool. The tools support the read; the read does not depend on the tools.
Dew, humidity, wind and cloud cover — the four variables that change captaincy. We run the weather check at four points: 6 hours pre-match, 2 hours pre-match, post-toss and post-innings break.
Read the surface from the dressing-room perspective — grass, colour, cracks and rolling history. We score each pitch on a four-point scale: pace-friendly, balanced, spin-friendly or unplayable.
Drag-drop XI builder. Lock roles, set credits, balance the team, save your template. We use the selection board to test three XI variations before we lock — the third answer is usually right.
Selection board discipline: build three XIs in 30 minutes. Lock the third. The first two answers are wrong by definition.
The credit calculator enforces two rules: 100 credits total and role balance (wicketkeeper, batter, all-rounder, bowler). Run it three times — the third answer is usually right.
| Role slot | Min credits | Max credits | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wicketkeeper | 7.0 | 11.0 | 8.5 |
| Batter (×3-5) | 7.0 | 11.5 | 9.0 |
| All-rounder (×1-3) | 8.0 | 12.0 | 9.5 |
| Bowler (×3-5) | 7.0 | 11.5 | 9.0 |
| Captain bonus | — | — | included in slot |

No. The discipline matters more than the tools. Pick one tool and use it three times per XI.
Yes, but the selection board reduces mistake-rate by forcing role balance before credit spend.
A four-point surface score (pace / balanced / spin / unplayable) that informs captaincy and bowling selection.
Built around the same five-stage editorial pipeline as every other desk brief.
