A different game of exciting cricket (No bat, no ball, only hands!)

Hi!
I am new to this forum and I like to introduce to everyone here a new type of cricket game I play many times with hands. Some might have heard about this but many don't know about playing cricket just with hands.
Here is the method to play:
(x) You need a healthy hand and some friends to play.Here I will explain about a match between two players.
(x) First, the players have to toss a coin and the toss winner should decide whether to bat or bowl.
(x)Then, Both the players should use a single hand and show a number using their fingers, both at the same moment.
[ show one finger for one run
2 fing - 2 runs
3 fing - 3 runs
4 fing four runs
5 fing. - 5 runs
thumb finger - 6 runs ]
(x)If both the players show the same number of runs using their hands, the batting person is declared out.
(x)If both of them show different numbers, then the runs are counted for the batsman.
(x)This continues until the batsman loses three(or four or five) wickets or the number of overs is finished.(eg, keep 5 overs)
(x) Then the person who bowled early will bat. If the batter loses all his wickets before reaching the target, the person who batted earlier wins. If he reaches the target, the second person wins!
If you have doubts regarding it, post it.
Hope everyone enjoys playing it :D
Interesting :p

Actually I do remember playing this on several occasions over the years now I've had a think about it. The game inevitably ended with me pulling it straight into my girlfriend's hands.

Goes to show you can have a lot of fun without buying expensive toys and extras...

It weighs 4 pounds though. It's all about the width, I find myself hitting the sweet spot far more often.

You can play with it in the cover. Wont feel quite as good when you hit it, but will prevent those hard to remove red spots from appearing on the blade.

I have picked up a sponsorship from a new player in the game - Kleenex. They are soft on the skin and absorb any excess moisture in the wicket and the head designer is a master glove man himself, so they are particularly good when you're standing up over the stumps and you need to make a clean snaffle.

Possibly the best statement made in this thread in my opinion.
