Overview

Google’s playable cricket doodle: batters time swings to send the ball past fielders while the bowler varies speed and type. Runs accumulate until you’re out.

How to Play

  • Tap/Click to swing as the ball arrives; aim for gaps to score 1–6 runs.
  • Watch bowler tells (slow/fast) and bounce; late swings tend to slice to off‑side.
  • Your innings ends on a catch or a bowled/lbw; chase a new high score.

Controls

  • Mouse/Touch: single tap/click to bat. Timing determines placement and power.

Tips

  • Don’t pre‑swing—react to release and bounce.
  • Favor ground strokes early; go aerial only when gaps are clear.
  • Adjust to slower deliveries; wait a fraction longer.

FAQ

  • Q: Can I hit 6s consistently?
    A: Yes, with late‑but‑clean contact when field is spread.
  • Q: Does difficulty ramp?
    A: Bowling speed/patterns vary as score increases.
  • Q: How is score saved?
    A: Typically local/session only.
