Frequently asked questions
Is GOAT Cricket really free?▼
Yes — completely free to play, with no purchases, downloads or sign-ups. Open the site in any modern browser on phone, tablet or desktop and start a series.
Which cricket nations can I play as?▼
Eight Test nations: England, Australia, West Indies, India, South Africa, New Zealand, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Each has a 26-player all-time squad — over 200 of the greatest cricketers ever — from which you pick your XI and your opponent's.
How does a series work?▼
You play a full 5-Test series, over by over, against the computer captain. Win the toss and choose to bat or bowl after reading the pitch report and weather forecast. Your progress autosaves after every over, so you can close the tab mid-session and resume later.
What tactics are in my control?▼
When bowling: who bowls, their line-and-length plan, the field you set, when to rest tiring quicks and when to take the new ball. When batting: the whole-team approach, each batsman's aggression, farming the strike to shield the tail and sending in a nightwatchman. As captain you also handle declarations, the follow-on and your three DRS reviews per innings.
Do pitch and weather conditions matter?▼
Hugely. Pitch types range from green seamers to flat roads to raging turners, and they wear across five days. Overhead conditions drive swing, rain steals overs, and bad light can end a day early — all of which feed your tactical decisions.
Does it work on mobile?▼
Yes. GOAT Cricket is built for the browser and plays comfortably on phones, tablets and desktops alike.
