Testmatch.

I came upon this game on my travels, so bought it for its novelty value!
The playing surface was very worn although I will probably be able to do something with it, so I decided to cut a " cloth " out of a piece of 9mm MDF and paint accordingly.
                                                  Thus!!
The game set up and ready to play. The first darker green area counts as 1 run the next 2 runs and the third 3 runs. The boundary counts as a four and the two little triangles by the boundary corners count as a six if you manage to get the ball in them!!! The batting gantry has a catch device that acts as the wicket keeper, and the front of the bowling ramp has a cup which acts as a catch by bowler if the ball should end up in there. The game is easy to pick up and play but does not have the same skill level as Subbuteo cricket. It is good fun though and easier to get people up and playing.
