About the cricket workshop

Performance Factory is an English cricket reading workshop. It explores how player comparisons, sample selection and arithmetic affect the claims people make about a match. The workshop metaphor describes a way of examining evidence; it is not a claim that this website operates a physical training centre or a professional analytics service.

What the manuals do

The two main manuals explain a fair comparison and a changing sample. Their examples use invented runs and ball counts so that readers can reproduce the method. They are not disguised current results or data drawn from an undisclosed betting model. The homepage connects the two manuals into a sequence: define the question, calculate from the relevant inputs and test the conclusion.

Sources and limits

We link to governing-body material when a statement concerns international formats or playing conditions. Original examples and interpretations remain separate from those source documents. A record can describe what happened without establishing what will happen next. The website does not offer live scores, accounts, deposits or guaranteed predictions.

Historical addresses

Some retained addresses come from earlier versions of the website. Current pages identify the new cricket edition and do not claim to reproduce the older reporting. We do not invent a team biography, a physical address or credentials for unnamed reviewers. The publication name identifies the current editorial material.

Partner references

Contextual references to Cricketin are sponsored. This relationship is disclosed in the reading pages and marked in their HTML. It does not establish an endorsement by a cricket board. Our editorial method explains the distinction between sponsored references and original sources.
