don't think this is nonsense at all...it describes a well known game.

The game is really 'pencil cricket', this is a commercial form of it. Hakluyt bean (talk) 18:14, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great game and many versions of it, including luxury sets, exist. Difficult to find non-commercial refs but have come up with one so included it. The relevance of the article could also be drawn out at a later date re: game theory and simulations. Ernstblumberg (talk) 07:35, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rules

The description of gameplay in this article seems a very personal interpretation. The rules of Owzthat are very short and are supplied on a small paper slip, see the image at [1]. What is referred to as the umpire die in this article is known as the bowler's dice in the Owzthat rules. The rules don't cover scoring, it's entirely up to the player(s). If it pleases you to name batsmen and bowlers, to count overs, limit innings, record how each wicket fell etc, then go ahead, but it's also enough to use a piece of paper to log the runs scored R 1 2 1 4 3 6 and use tally marks to track the number of wickets that have fallen W III When all ten have fallen, tot up the runs and that's the (batting) player's score for his innings.
