Built for cricketers,

Bat or Brolly started with a familiar Saturday morning ritual — checking three different weather apps, getting three different answers, and still not knowing whether to bother making the trip to the ground.
The app pulls live forecast data from Open-Meteo and runs it against cricket-specific thresholds — temperature, wind speed, and precipitation probability — to give a single, plain-English verdict. It checks the 14:00 GMT forecast, which corresponds to typical start times for 40-over and 50-over recreational matches across the UK.
It won't tell you whether to officially call off a game. That's for your captain, your umpires, and your ground staff. But it'll give you a decent read of whether it's worth packing the kit bag.
