PLAY
At the beginning of the play option, the opposing team's eleven
players and statistics is given for close examination as well as
details on the match. The match can then begin, or you may choose to
return to the main playing screen to make team adjustments.
Play is split into three session, with about 35 overs in each session.
A coin toss decides who bats first.
To Begin Innings:
Batting - select two opening batsmen from your team.
Fielding - select order of fielding with 1 as wicket keeper, and 11 as
out fielders. Poorer fielders and resting bowlers should be kept at
the higher fielding numbers.
During Innings:
Batting - when present batsman is out, the next batsman is selected or
player may declare under "sensible circumstances".
Fielding after each over, the bowler can be replaced by either one of
the two not bowling.
At the end of an innings, if the follow on conditions are met, then
you will be asked if you wish to force the follow on.
"Sensible Circumstances" are when the captain feels he has enough runs
before the end of the innings and is concerned to have enough time to
bowl out the other team before the time runs out - otherwise the match
is a draw.
All developments are registered on the World Cricket score board.
