Title: Cricket Dio
Post by: ScranJ51 on March 02, 2018, 03:50:02 PM

Someone noticed this in another thread - I don't think I ever shared it here.

A few years ago i thought I'd experiment with modifying figures, and as it was summer - one-day cricket was on.  So -  ;)

Sure looks every bit like the matches I've seen and not managed to understand a bit of.

Great work!

I think the umpire might need to have a word with the bowlers about running on the wicket ?  ;)

Nice work
