Lords of Cricket

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.
