[color=#000000:post_uid1]I need some major help here! I just got Cricket 2002 in the mail yesterday, and being from the states I don't have a clue about how to play cricket. To tell you why I even purchased this game. I watch/listen to a lot of English Premier League Football; so while watching Fox Sports World I get some highlights on Sky Sports and even get to see some games coming up this summer. It looked like fun so I thought I would buy the game and give it a try. So please excuse any mistakes or really dumb questions.

So I was wondering if there is anywhere on the web that I can find rules. I have searched through some sights and really only find regulations on ball size, bat size and other kinds of rules. I can find how the game is scored and terminology for the game. Can you guys tell me some basic rules, or point me to a web sight or should I just go buy a book that would tell me the rules?

Another thing, when I bat I don't do to bad, but bowling is a whole other monster. Sorry I sound so friggin' clueless. I can't seem to get any guys out; they just keep batting. I try to bowl it past them but they keep hitting the ball. I have tried putting it in different spots and tried other approaches.

Thanks for any help I get, I'm having fun learning how to play this game so far but I need a little guidance so I don't feel so lost.

Thanks for you time :)[/color]
 
Yes, you can find the official rules n stuff on cricinfo.org
 
Cricket is really a great game.. Its just like baseball, in the sense that you have a bat and a ball. Just the scoring is a little different.

I have my cousin in the States who just learnt to play cricket just in 2 days and in about the fifth day they played shots better than me (I been playing cricket all my life being in India).

I think hard hitting in baseball helps. Anyway rules of cricket are so simple.. (simpler than baseball and American Football)_
