Description

Game played usually between two teams of two: two batsman, a fielder and bowler. Each player has different sets of tiles which are used to emulate real scenarios in a game of cricket. Red for the bowler, eg. 'bouncer', beige for the batsman eg. '2', and green for the fielder, eg.' catch'. Each game consists of two innings for each team. Each innings consists of eleven batsman's innings. Each player conceals their tiles from sight, picks their chosen tile and all three tiles are aligned on the table in the order 'bowler, batsman, fielder' with the results entered into the scorecard. This is repeated six times to complete an over. At the end of the over the batsman swap, as do the fielder and bowler.
