About this deal

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. 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.

At the end of the contest or league, the users with the highest points will win real money prizes. The prize money depends on the number of users participating in the contest and the entry fee for the contest. However, like any other fantasy sports app, this one can be addictive, and users may spend a lot of time and money playing the game. Addictivea flash drive containing templates for all the probability sheets and score sheets (no need to buy special scorebooks or pads from me – simply print as many of your own as you want, when you need them). Certain types of items cannot be returned. Please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your specific item. Now umpire die is rolled and options of that die is used to determine fate of the batsman. if 'no ball' is rolled, then the batsman continues and an extra ball is given to the batsman (which means an additonal roll of batting die). That Jimmy Anderson top-scored with 22 as England slid to 110 all out from 7.4 overs tells you all you need to know about both the run rate and balsa wood fragility of England’s batting.

In essence though, it involved rolling a pencil to decide if the batsmen scored 1,2,3,4, 6 or was out. If out, the same pencil (or another if you were particularly flash) equated to either not out, caught, LBW, etc. If'not out' is rolled, then batsman remains not out. If other than 'no ball' or 'not out' is rolled then batsman is given out and next batsman starts. 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.'.On another day, the moustachioed Essex opener with the three-pound SS tree trunk and England’s leading run-scorer in Tests would have scored 5,908-0 but therein lies the power and mystic of this dice game. 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. 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.
