Description

The principles and rules of the game follow the rules of the real game as closely as possible. It can be played on any flat surface. The ball is bowled by placing it in the bowler's hand (small metal ring) and holding it between thumb and forefinger; the arm can then be drawn back and released. Distance between the wickets should be 3ft 6 inches. Runs can be scored by the batsman by: hitting the ball with the bat, a 4 for reaching the boundary, a 6 for going over the boundary. The batsmna takes guard by holding the handle of the bat between his tumb and forefinger, and keeping the elbow of the batting arm on the table or floor.
