Problem
- Fans expect scores, commentary and odds the moment each ball is bowled
- Having to refresh, or waiting on delays, sends fans to rival apps
- Coverage had to span upcoming and past series in every format
- Big matches bring sharp spikes in fans using the app
- Problems had to be fixed fast, in the middle of the season
- In live sport, a few seconds of delay is enough to lose a user.

- Refreshing scores automatically every few seconds
