I haven't played it for probably 2 years, but it's a fun game.

Using wickets(bull/outer) and scoring(+40), rather than something that doesn't
seem to bare any resemblance the the game of Cricket played on grass Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.

What are the rules for it? Being from Canada, I haven't been properly exposed to the rules of the grass game either.

Yes! We call it "Test Cricket" to differentiate it from normal Cricket. We play it when we have more than 4 people to a single board, you just split into teams. It's probably the best game to play when you have too many for the usual games, and the team element makes it more fun than say Halve-it (also a good option for large groups).

So, no 3 single bulls? You need at least one double and a single? Or can you play out with 2 double bulls?
I'm confused on scoring...
Do you still play 15-20? You need to bust out at least a 45 on 15's to even get on the board. Sorry, just not familiar with this. I'm intrigued, however. Please help me understand better.

Outer Bull = 1 wicket
Inner Bull = 2 wickets
Only scores over 40 count towards the batting total eg player throws 60 the 60 - 40 = 20 total
You can score anywhere on the board.
The system can be modified eg so only inner bull counts as 1 wicket,
and/or only scores over 60 count . if you find that the game was easy to play.
Just keep batting(scoring) until you lose all 10 wickets.
Then it's your opponents turn to score(bat) and you throw at the bull(Bowl)

I'm not familiar with this play type. I love cricket, so it looks like I'll have to try it out this way
