The Cricket Game

IIRC that was the title of a boardgame for sale in the mid 90s. Got it at Newlands I dont recall it being available anywhere else. Anybody got the game?

I found one of these at a church bazaar once, http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/18657/test-match, ancient old thing.

Have a look at these and see if they ring a bell http://boardgamegeek.com/geeksearch.php?action=search&objecttype=boardgame&q=cricket&B1=Go

Thanks but its not there. IIRC it had Bob Woolmer on the cover. Cost R200

Just seems nobody's ever heard of it

Was it with the felt mat and you top the bowler and the ball rolls then the batsmen hits it? Fielders had a U between their legs to catch?

Yes that's it thanks. Pity retailers didn't take it up. Certainly was made up of "high-quality components". All round excellent product.

Not surprised he managed to get an introduction with Bob Woolmer. Was fortunate enough to partake in a chat with him after he agreed to our team.
