2 '"When selecting Bowlers, they should be be nominated in order of merit; i.e. the best bowler first, the worst bowler last.":
2 '"Thus 5 - 5 - 1 + 2 + 2 = 3"''"Please study this example to make sure you understand how it works." :
2 '"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":
2 '"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."
2 '"The Bowling side then decides which bowler will open the bowling and play commences."
2 '"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."
2 '"Please check your mistake. You will be asked to re-enter your Bowlers again.":
2 '"O.K. You will be returned to thestart and asked to load teams again.":
2 '"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."
2 '"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."
2 '"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 ";:

2 '"6. The ball may go clear of any fielder but remain in play. Once again, Batsmen may run if they wish."
2 '"4. EXTRAS may be called. If the ball crosses the Boundary 4 runs(BYES) are awarded; if the ball remains in play the RUN option is offered.":
2 '"3. It is still possible for any Bowler to take wickets at any stage of the match.":
2 '"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."
2 '"2. The ball may go directly to the WICKETKEEPER. In this case the Batsmen are NOT allowed to run."
2 '"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."
2 '"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."
