Re: Cricket

Play your own game of cricket on your office desktop on or the bus...

These two special dice, a scorecard and pencil is all you need to play "Owzthat".

We used to play this when we were kids during those rainy summer holidays on in the back of the car on long journeys. Ok, it's tad low-tech but we were obviously very easily pleased in the 60's/70's. You could always spice it up by making up your own dream team scorecards and introduce a betting element.

They still sell them new it seems.... http://www.edirectory.co.uk/pf/pages...FFDCCG&cid=880

I've still got mine in a draw somewhere but I can't bothamingwell find them.

There's always the more hi-tech but less portable javascript version...
