Rules for Playing the New Game

"OWZTHAT"

THE CRICKET GAME FOR ALL WEATHERS.

1. The number of players can be one or more on each team, but each team should have the same number of players.

2. The team to bat first is decided in the usual way by the spin of a coin or by mutual agrangement.

3. The batsman's dice has six surfaces marked "1", "4", "3", "2", "6" and "OWZTHAT" respectively.

4. The bowler's dice also has six surfaces, but the inscriptions on these are "BOWLED", "CAUGHT", "NOT OUT", "STUMPED", "LBW", "NO BALL".

5. The batsman rolls his die first and, if a number turns up, he places that number of runs to his score; he then rolls the dice again and if a number again turns up this is added to his score; he continues to roll the dice in this way until "OWZTHAT" turns up.

6. The bowler now rolls his dice; if "BOWLED", "CAUGHT", "STUMPED", or "LBW" are turned up the batsman's innings is finished, and the next of the batting team takes the dice. If, however, "NOT OUT" OR "NO BALL" turns up, the batsman proceeds with his innings as before, adding one to his scre in event of a "NO BALL" turning up.

7. The winning is the one which scores most runs.
