Cricket Batting

You are the batter, seen from behind the stumps. The computer bowls deliveries with different line, length and speed — yorkers, good-length balls, bouncers, and slower spinners that turn off the pitch.

Controls

• Timing is everything: play your shot just as the ball reaches the bat. The bar at the bottom tells you if you were early, late or perfect.
• Swipe in the direction you want to hit: up = straight down the ground, up-left / left = leg side (mid-wicket, square leg), up-right / right = off side (cover, point). A long, fast swipe lofts the ball in the air. A quick tap plays a sensible shot for the line; swiping down blocks the ball.
• Keyboard: ↑ straight, ← leg side, → off side, ↓ block, Space auto shot. Hold Shift to loft.

Runs and dismissals

• Ground shots that beat the fielders reach the rope for 4; lofted shots that clear the boundary are 6. Otherwise you run 1–3 depending on how quickly a fielder gets to the ball.
• Miss a straight ball and you may be bowled. Hit it in the air near a fielder and you may be caught. Edges to the keeper are caught behind.
• Early shots go to the leg side, late shots to the off side — use that to place the ball.
