Bowling.

When I first was aware of subbuteo cricket I did not bother with it, being of the opinion that the bowling would consist of some sort of ramp contraption resulting in the ball rolling somewhat lamely towards the wicket!

                However I was pleasantly suprised to find this not to be the case. The picture shows the bowling figure, use of which I have shown in a previous posting. This method enables the ball to be pitched short, long, or to either side providing quite a challenge for the batsman! With a bit of practice, one can send the stumps flying in spectacular fashion, or deflections to the slips or wicket keeper, it is actually quite clever, and once one has got the hang of it can be great fun!!
