Who’s behind it

Built by international match officials

Five-time ICC International Umpire of the Year Simon Taufel and ICC International Umpire Wayne Knights bring exceptional expertise to the app — pairing decades on the field with real web-development know-how, so a high-quality product holds up under the time pressure that arises when weather disrupts play.

Simon is widely regarded as one of the finest umpires the game has seen. He was named ICC Umpire of the Year for five consecutive years (2004–2008) — an unmatched run — and officiated at the highest level, including the 2011 Cricket World Cup final.

A long-serving member of the ICC’s Elite Panel, Simon later served as the ICC’s Umpire Performance and Training Manager, shaping how officials around the world are developed. That blend of on-field judgement and a passion for decision-making under pressure runs right through How Many Overs?.

Wayne is a New Zealand member of the ICC Emerging Panel of Umpires, officiating in Test, One-Day and Twenty20 internationals as well as global tournaments. He has stood in four World Cups, the last being the Men's 2026 T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.

Alongside his career as a match official, Wayne brings hands-on web-development experience — and it’s that rare combination that turns first-hand knowledge of rain-affected cricket into a genuinely well-built, reliable app. He knows both the problem and how to engineer the solution.
