Higher or lower: the cricket stats game

Higher or Lower is a free daily cricket stats game. Two cricketers, one career number, such as ODI runs or Test wickets: which one has more? Keep the chain going through ten calls. A new chain comes at midnight India time, the same for everyone.

How to play

  1. Today's stat is shown at the top, the same for the whole chain.
  2. You see one player's number; the next player's stays hidden.
  3. Tap the player you think has more.
  4. A right call shows the number and brings the next player.
  5. One wrong call ends the run, and ten right calls solve it.

Scoring

Your score is how many calls you get right in a row, up to ten. An equal number counts as right either way. The next player's number reaches your phone only once you have called it.

Where the numbers come from

Every number is a career figure from Cricsheet's open records of past matches, counted by code. Chains run from easy on Monday to the hardest on Sunday.
