## What is Pomp?

Pomp is a cricket drafting game. You spin for teams from across cricket history, pick their players into your own XI one at a time, then watch your side play out ball by ball in T20, ODI and Test. Everyone's rated on their real career, so the good teams win because they're good teams, not because of a dice roll.

You've got eleven spots to fill: a top order, a keeper, a couple of all-rounders, your seamers and a spinner. Keep an eye on the overseas count, and if you can line up players who actually played together, there's a chemistry bonus in it.

Four things to play:
- International Treble. Win the T20, ODI and Test titles with one XI. No team has ever done it. Reckon you can?
- Indian Invincibles. Draft a franchise T20 side and try to go through the season unbeaten.
- Time Machine. Real tournaments from the past, where the conditions decide who's actually worth picking.
- Women's Global T20 2026. The women's game, same drafting.

There's multiplayer as well: ranked matches against other people, or a straight series against a mate. Every game is simulated in full, and you can dig into the scorecard afterwards.

And The Nets, if you just want a quick go: four short cricket puzzles, new ones every day.
