Whilst loosely based upon the game of cricket, many
aspects are improvised: the playing ground, the rules, the
teams, and the equipment. Quite often there are no teams at
all; the players take turns at batting and there is often less
emphasis on actually scoring runs. A bat of some kind is
necessary. The bat can be anything, as long as it can hit the
ball and can be suitably held in the hands. A ball (often a
tennis ball, since this is less likely than a cricket ball to
inflict injury) is the other essential item.
The pitch
can be any stretch of ground that is reasonably flat. The
wicket may be any convenient object - a cardboard box, a
rubbish bin, case of beer, telegraph pole, or tree. Often, the
wicket is by no means close to the official size, but it is
used anyway!
The g2w game challenges the batting
skills of a player. The game lasts for 3 overs and the player
has to score a certain number of runs in the allotted overs
without getting his team out. The game features 3 levels of
difficulty each level being a different stage featuring
different characters. The increase in difficulty means
increase in precision of the bowler. Hence the chance of the
batsmen getting out is more. Also, the game has three typical
locations where the game is played – a Mumbai Chawl, a
Building Society and a College Campus.
