Follow cricket at work
Sport Spreadsheet follows live cricket — the IPL, international fixtures and more — as runs, wickets, overs and run rate inside a spreadsheet. A scorecard is already a grid of numbers, so cricket hides in a sheet better than any sport.
Cricket and the working day are old adversaries. A Test runs for days; even a one-dayer is hours long; and an overseas series means play through your office hours. It's also the sport that disguises itself best — a scorecard is a table of numbers to begin with. Here's how to follow every session from your desk.
Why cricket is hard to follow at work
No sport tests the discreet follower like cricket. A Test unfolds across five working days, and an away series in another time zone means live play lands in your workday, every day. Leaving a scorecard or a stream open for hours is a giveaway in itself — unless it looks like a report you've had open all along.
