Controls!

Batsmen

Left  = Move Bat Left
Right = Move Bat Right

Bowler

Z       = Move Bowling target left
X       = Move Bowling target right
Shift   = Select Bowling target
Control = Bowl ball

For different strokes to be played the batsmen must hit the ball with a diffrent part of the bat for the diffrent strokes to be played, the strokes are relative to there real life counterparts *i.e, if you only hit the ball with the very side of the bat you will edge it*

This current version is just the beta test version, so there are a few things that are missing those things being...

1. Final Graphics
2. Crowd Sound
3. Gaming Glitches
4. Direct Draw Support
5. World Street Tour Mode
6. Family Selection

Other than that, and a few other minor scoring features this game is finished!
