Modified cricket game

Abstract

A modified cricket game is played by a group of players on a conventional cricket field. Each player (1) attempts to hit an equal number of balls bowled by other players and (2) bowls an equal number of balls. A batsman earns points for runs scored and loses points for outs made. A bowler earns points for recording outs and loses points for runs allowed. Players in the field earn points by catching a fly ball and getting or assisting a run out and lose points for dropping a fly ball, miss fielding and allowing a boundary, and bowling noballs and wide balls. The player who scores the highest point total as a bowler receives the “bowling title”. The player who scores the highest point total as a batsman receives the “batting title”. The player with the highest combined point total from bowling, batting, and fielding is the overall winner.
