Balyna Discbat Cricket

A variation of the classic cricket action game. Small plastic fielders, a mechanism to allow batting, another one to allow bowling, a ball and a field made up of different run areas. It doesn’t get much simpler. Sister product of Balyna Football. Both games were designed to be a competitor to Subbuteo's cricket and football games.
In many ways the game is quite surreal, with the bowler being represented by an aluminim funnel from which the fielding team bowls the ball. The batsman is a counter weight which is held by a piece of cotton by the player. When the ball is bowled, the batsman releases the counter weight and, depending on the angle can play a variety of shots. Great scoreboard too, but completely useless as the scoreboard is metal and the score numbers cardboard. They fall apart far too quickly.
