Players play out a live-action cricket game with miniatures on a felt board. The cricket ball is a small ball bearing, which one player bowls from a bowler (who has a long "chute" the ball comes down on) while the other player operates the batsman. Fielders are placed throughout the board to catch the ball. Players can simulate a one-day international, or a full five-day test match. The pieces came unpainted, and could be painted the colors of your favorite teams.
