Frequently Asked Questions
What is 25000 RUNS?
A free cricket game by The Cast Patrol. Draft a Big Bash XI with their BBL runs hidden, then add them up. Can your XI reach 25000 runs combined?
How do you play 25000 RUNS?
Pick a mode, then you are offered three random BBL players at a time. Choose one for your XI without seeing their runs. You have 20 seconds to pick, or the first option goes in. Repeat until every spot is filled: five batters, an all-rounder (a player who bats and bowls), a keeper and four bowlers. Your total is revealed as you go.
What are the modes?
25000+: reach 25000 runs or more, with one of each wildcard. Exactly 25000: land on 25000 on the dot, under or over is a miss, and it’s Hard Mode: no free wildcards, only paid ones, one of each a game. Team Spin: choose a position, then spin a club and season and pick from that squad.
What are Legends?
Now and then in 25000+, one offer is a Legends Pick: three of the BBL’s retired greats, like Aaron Finch, Shaun Marsh and Chris Gayle. Their runs are hidden like everyone else’s, and they count their whole BBL careers. You get one at most per game, and it can turn up late in a game, just when you need it most.
How do the leaderboards work?
Sign in free with a CAST Profile and pick a username. Your best game in every mode goes up automatically on today’s, this week’s and the all-time boards. Tap any name to see the XI behind the score, with the luck of their draw. Exactly 25000 ranks the most exact hits, then the closest team.
Do I need an account?
No. You can play as a guest, and your games stay on this device. A free CAST Profile (Google or Apple, for ages 13 and over) saves your history, stats and trophies across every CAST game, puts you on the leaderboards and gives you wildcards every game.
What does the Luck number mean?
After each game we compare the runs on every card you were offered with what an average game deals you. Luck +23% means you drew 23% more runs than usual; a minus number means a tough draw. Your first offer and any Legends Pick are left out. You see it on your results and on leaderboard team sheets.
What are wildcards?
Reroll (Respin in Team Spin) gives you a fresh offer, Reveal Runs shows the runs for everyone on the current offer, and Remove Player takes one player out of your XI so you can draft again. Each can be used once per game.
Which runs count?
Runs in the Big Bash League (BBL) from its first season in 2011/12 to now, finals included. Runs for national sides or in other T20 leagues are not included.
Where do the run numbers come from?
From Cricsheet (cricsheet.org), the free ball-by-ball record of every match it holds, checked against the official career totals so every player’s runs are exact. Each player’s role (batter, keeper or bowler) comes from where they batted, their stumpings and how much they bowled, and a player who is both a batter and a bowler is an all-rounder.
