Description

An Australian cricket board game. It takes into account Test, One Day, Twenty20 and even back yard cricket.
The game is designed to replicate game conditions including real life statistics and score keeping. Lords of Cricket is fun and educational for kids, improving their maths skills while teaching them the fundamentals of cricket. The box says 'Great for players of all ages from 7 to 107' so any of you 108 year old cricket game fans are out of luck.

The Lords of Cricket playing board is divided into four parts, one for each of the different versions of a game of cricket. The board consists of six circles, each one representing the six balls in an over. Each game of Lords of Cricket is played with cricket ball-shaped cards, each designed to imitate different formats of the game of cricket.
Red cards are for Test cricket
White cards are for One Day International and Back Yard cricket
Yellow cards are used for Twenty-20 cricket
There are four dice
White - Ball Dice - numbered from 1 to 6 representing the number of the ball in the over
Yellow - Appeal Dice - used to determine the type of appeal
Red - Out Dice - used to determine how a batsman is out
Black - Reverse Decision Dice - used to reverse an Appeal decision
