Once both sides have batted they might swap sides again (innings) hope that helps - if you need more just poke me on twitter ~cathal hmmm dont know the full rules of cricket or baseball/rounders so will try and explain it simply
1) consists of 2 teams of 11 players each, 1 field fields/bowls while the other bats
2) the batsmen must bat in pairs and thus cannot bat after they loose 10th man/wicket
3) a single bowler can only bowl a maximum of 6 legal deliveries in a row
4) each of the batsmen stand beside an assembly of wood (roughly in .-.-. shape but 3 foot high), with the assemblies 22 yards apart
5) runs are scored by hitting the ball and then running between afore mentioned pieces of wood, getting the ball to the edge of teh pitch withthe ball bouncing (4 runs) without it bouncing (6 runs)
6) a batsman is out if he the ball knocks the tops off of the assembly of wood, the ball is caught without it bouncing, the assembly of wood is broken with the batsman x meters away, or the most confusing is if the umpire thinks the batsman protected teh assembly with his leg/body without playing a shot – thats leg before wicket or lbw).

Its somewhere everyone should go at some point in their lives. I can give you loads of tips for places to go and things to see. I dont think a week is enough but its a start. I hope you get to go lottie and you can bring me to be your tour guide. I know SFA about cricket other than its a bit like baseball but slower. You could do beach volleyball or aussie rules instead.

In fact they encourgage it to be active and unrelated to drink. All my ideas seem to mutate into drinking games for some reason. I can't imagine why. Also, I haven't seen BASEketball in years but I remember it being hillarious. I do need help. I will nab you to pick your brains one on one. @irlbinky - Wow! I am humbled by your organisation. Thank you so much. I should devise some sort of helper point scheme shouldn't I? @Hugo – Oui!

I have emailed you a document with it. I am not sure if there is a real way to do to a tag version due to an imbalance between abtters and fielders, and the closest i have is some guys kicking a football and the fielders trying to catch it. Hope the amended table cricket version helps and goodluck cathal best i could do would be a version of sidney cricket which would be closer to the real thing. I have emailed you a document with it.

I was kinda under the impression it did, but if not, give BASEketball a watch to get your Wicke'dCricket creative juices flowing. Oh, and because it's hilarious ;) If you need actual rules advice, I can help with rugby, aussie rules, international rules and kinda gaa. Only thing I'll say about a boomerang is beware the curl. I have a real one if you want to borrow it for testing purposes :) Does it have to be a tabletop game?..
