What does the GoChronos Overs Converter do?

The Overs Converter converts between cricket's notation (e.g. 19.4 overs) and total balls (118 balls). This is essential for accurate run-rate calculations because 19.4 in cricket means 19 overs and 4 balls — not the decimal number 19.4.

Why does cricket use notation like 19.4 instead of 19.67?

In cricket scoring, 19.4 means 19 completed overs and 4 legal deliveries in the 20th over. The digit after the decimal is a ball count (0–5), not a fraction. Using this as a decimal in calculations produces wrong results — the converter handles this precisely.

How many balls are in an over?

A standard over consists of 6 legal deliveries. Wides and no-balls are re-bowled and are not counted as part of the over total.

Is the overs converter free?

Yes. Completely free, works instantly in the browser with no account required.
