How to play

Bowling

Put the ball in the metal triangle behind the bowling figure and firmly tap the figure on the back of the head!

Batting

Hold the red bat handle and twizzle it so the bat moves to hit the ball

Caught behind!

If the ball hits the bat and ends up in a cup in front of a fielder, the batter is caught out!

Runs

4s and 6s scored as it normal cricket. If the ball stops before reaching the boundary, use the white triangle to see how many runs are scored. One run for each length of the triangle from the nearest set of stumps.
