1 '"This version has animated graphics with moving players, batsmen running between the wickets, moving fielders etc., as well as providing a constant Scorecard Display."
1 '"There is no limit on the number of Overs that a side may use in order to complete an Innings."
1 '"The throw in may take anything from 3 to 12 moves. Thus batsmenmay be taking a chance if they elect to run when the ball has gone straight to a fielder":
1 '"The figures used in calculating the correction factor are those applicable during the current Innings only: For Example the number of overs bowled by a Bowler in his first Innings is not taken into account when he starts to bowl in his second Innings.":
1 '"The batsmen will take 9 moves tocomplete each run."''"If a fielder has to move to the ball he will move vertically until he is in line with the ball and then move horizontally until he reaches it."
1 '"The Bowling side then decides which bowler will open the bowling and play commences."
1 '"Teams should be entered in theirBatting Order although once the game commences a player may be nominated to bat in any positionexcept for the 2 Opening Batsmenwho will always bat at No 1 & 2."

1 '"In the previous example where the correction factor was 3, theBatsman will on average be out 7 times in 247; approximately a 1 in 35 chance."
1 '"In a possible situation where the correction factor exceeds 9 this is catered for by the fact that whenever the sum of the random number and the correctionfactor exceeds 255, then 256 is subtracted from the result so a Batsman may still be given out."
1 '"If the ball has not gone to a fielder, the location of the ball is shown and the fielder nominated to retrieve the ball will be shown as ";:
1 '"If no declaration is made, then another bowler is selected and the game continues until either the Batting side DECLARES or 10 wickets have fallen.":

1 '"Each side is allowed 2 Innings during the course of the game, unless one side makes more runs in One Innings than the other makes in both of it's innings."
1 '"Depending on where the ball has gone one fielder will change colour and may also change his shape as follows:"
1 '"Correction for this ball will be"''"Constant(5) - Batsman No(5) - (1 Point for every 25 runs the Batsman has scored) + Bowler Number(2)+ 1 Point for each 5 Overs completed."

1 '"3. A WIDE or NO BALL may be called. If so, 1 run is added to the team total and an additional ball is bowled."
1 '"2. The ball may go directly to the WICKETKEEPER. In this case the Batsmen are NOT allowed to run."
1 '"2. In order to prevent the best bowlers being used constantly Bowlers No 1 to 4 will have their effectiveness reduced at the rate of 1 point for every 5 Overs they have completed."
1 '"2. However, the game has been so designed that any Batsman, irrespective of his team Number, has the chance of making a high score, or being out without scoring."
