Every article on Patisserie by SB follows a structured research process designed to ensure accuracy, currency, and fairness. This page explains exactly how we work.
In This Article
Where do we get our data?
We source player statistics and rankings from the International Cricket Council (ICC) official rankings system and ESPNCricinfo StatsGuru database. Equipment specifications come from manufacturer websites and verified retailer listings. Pricing data is checked against current listings at the time of writing. We cite our sources at the bottom of every article.
How do we verify facts?
Every number, ranking, date, and record in our content is checked against at least one primary source before publication. Primary sources mean ICC, ESPNCricinfo, official cricket board websites, or the equipment manufacturer directly. We do not cite other blogs as sources for factual claims.
How do we write equipment reviews?
Equipment reviews are based on research across manufacturer specifications, retailer reviews, cricket forum discussions, and where possible, hands-on experience. We compare products within their price tier and playing role. We include comparison tables with real specifications. Affiliate links are clearly disclosed and never influence our recommendations.
How do we write technique guides?
Technique content is based on established coaching principles from ECB, Cricket Australia, and BCCI coaching manuals, supplemented by analysis of international player techniques. We are not a substitute for a qualified coach. We always recommend professional coaching for significant technique changes, especially for fast bowling.
How often do we update content?
ICC rankings change after every international series, so our rankings content is reviewed monthly. Equipment reviews are updated when new product lines launch or prices change significantly. Rules content is updated when the ICC or MCC changes playing conditions. Every article shows a last reviewed date.
How do we handle corrections?
If a reader or our own review process identifies an error, we correct it within 48 hours and note the correction at the bottom of the article. Material corrections (wrong statistics, incorrect product information) are logged with the original and corrected values. Contact us at our contact page to report an error.
Editorial independence
Patisserie by SB is independently operated. We are not affiliated with any cricket board, franchise league, or equipment manufacturer. Affiliate relationships do not influence editorial content. When a product is recommended, it is because we believe it offers genuine value for the specified use case and price tier.
