                                 BATTING

1  Move the joystick left or right to position the batsman. Watch the 
small white square - this shows where the bowler intends to pitch the ball
- when it turns grey it will stop moving, and the bowler will commence his
run-up. Start thinking about which stroke to play.

2  When the ball leaves the bowler's hand you have a fraction of a second
to move the joystick into one of the eight possible directions to determine
which stroke is played.

                                  BOWLING

1   Before you can start your run-up you must decide where you want to pitch 
    the ball. Move the small white square which indicates where the ball will 
    bounce, and press fire to fix it in position.                          

2   Fast bowlers: All you need do is use the left and right keys or waggle 
                  the joystick to increase the speed of the delivery.

    Spin/Swing bowlers: Choose the direction you wish to spin or swing the
                        ball and press fire. Then waggle to increase the 
                        amount of spin or swing.


                         
                         RUNNING BETWEEN THE WICKETS     
                         
To start the batsman running you just wiggle the joystick (or push the left 
and right keys alternately) or push the fire button. The fire button can
also be used to turn the batsman around.



                              IN-GAME OPTIONS

Pressing the SPACE BAR before the bowler has begun his run-up brings up
an options menu :

                    edit the fielding set-up.

                        TO EXIT THE PROGRAM
                                  
To EXIT to DOS press ESCAPE at the main menu screen.                                  



                        CONFIGURING YOUR SOUND CARD

You must select the correct sound driver for your PC when you install
cricket to your harddisk. If you need to change any of the settings
at a later date, just type INSTALL in your cricket directory, at the 
menu press F2 and you will then be prompted for the new settings.


                             SOUNDBLASTER

If you have a soundblaster or compatible sound card, you must specify
the correct I/O address, IRQ (interrupt) and DMA channel for your card.
Failure to do so could result in the game not functioning or the machine
crashing!!

If you are unsure about the correct settings, consult your sound cards
manual.

If you are unsure about the settings of other peripheral cards and the
game is not running properly it is probably due to a hardware conflict.
Temporarily remove all cards except the sound card and other essential
cards such as the disk controller. Then, insert the cards back one at a
time until you find which card is causing the problem.
If you do find a hardware conflict, you must change the hardware settings
on the sound card or on the card causing the problem so they do not
conflict. You will need to consult your hardware manuals on how to do this.

As a last resort, delete the file SND.DAT in your cricket directory. This
will force the game to auto-configure the sound drivers. This works on 
most PC's, but if your game fails to start you must re-install cricket
from the original floppy disk.
