Cricket is basic game of accuracy and strategy. It
is played by two individuals or teams. There are seven
targets used which are 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15 and the
bull's eye. The object of the game is for each player
or team to hit three marks on each of the target #s
and to score points. The player or team to close each
of these targets and be ahead in points or even on
points, wins the game. Although any # may be hit to
close they are usually done in sequence from 20 down
to the bull.
If a player or team scores 3 marks on a target #
they are the owner of that # until the other player
or team closes the same. While open the team who
has closed the # has the option of scoring points
equal to that #. If they hit a triple which is the
inside ring the score would be times 3 whatever the
#. The outside ring is called a double and the triangular
shapes are singles worth that # in points. Once closed
that # is out for the duration of that game. Master
the triples is a sure way of winning. The game of
cricket can be won in eight darts (6 triples, 20-15,
a single and double bull.)
