Owzthat! The traditional Cricket game for all weathers - basic version

Product Information

In limited overs game player's turn ends when either the allocated overs are finished or 10 batsmen get out before allocated overs finish. Fred Trueman and Darren Gough opened for Yorkshire and would have been appalled at their economy rate as sixes and fours were biffed with alarming regularity.

Wrapped tightly in a set of paper instructions for the game are two metal dice; a mode of dismissals one with NOT OUT, STUMPED etc in red lettering on each side while its stubbier cousin has 1,2,3,4, OWZTHAT and 6. Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives. What is a false positive? Now in truth, the game was in no way shape or form the meticulous scoring opus of my former teen years. Involving the dice, a diary to scribble the scores and away we went, it was definitely more T20 than Test match in its formulation.Player die has 6 options marked '1', '2', '3', '4', 'owzthat', and '6'. Umpire die also has 6 options marked 'bowled', 'stumped', 'caught', 'not out', 'no ball', and 'LBW' respectively. The game is usually played between two players, but can be played alone. It is played with two six-sided long dice and a paper scorecard. One die, the batting die, is labelled 1, 2, 3, 4, 'owzthat' and 6. The second die, the umpire die, is labelled 'bowled', 'stumped', 'caught', 'not out', 'no ball', and 'L.B.W.'. In less time than I played one inning by hand I was able to play both innings of the same match I posted earlier. Here is the result if anyone is interested. During long summer school holidays that stretched out as endlessly as a Boycott innings, there was one, indomitable saving grace when it rained.

Howzat's unique scoring system ensures that points are awarded for each and every statistical contribution of players on the field.

It’s highly probable this software program is malicious or contains unwanted bundled software. Why is this software program no longer available in our Catalog? Does this compact, nugget, no-frills companion still have any relevance in today’s world of apps, notifications, ultra-high-def landscape? Sure it does. All of which prompted a decision to crank open the Owzthat dice for another game; the first for donkey’s years; to see how an England XI would fare against a Yorkshire XI from down the years. In my excitement this time, which batsmen were meant to be on strike and whether the batting stats and bowling analysis bore any relation to one another is something of a guilty admission.
