Anoyne play cricket games before the IT generations of games came along?
Did anyone try to play Subbuteo cricket and think that it wasn't as good as the football version...but possibly better than the rugby game with its scrum machine where you would try to feed the ball into your side of the scrum!!
My kids introduced me to a simple game called "Howzat" over here. It was basically two metallic die...you rolled the first dice which had varying runs on the sides and one side read "out"...when this was rolled you rolled the other dice which had the I think the 5 more common ways of being out and one side was a "no-ball"...roll that and you batted on.
Apart from playing versions of cricket on the dartboard or snooker table...anyone else play any pre PC/Video console cricket games.
Apologies for the double posting...could a mod remove please? Thank you.
