Just how big of a West Indies fan are you?


If you think you're the most knowledgeable West Indies cricket fan, now's your chance to prove it.

Barbadian James Corbin has invented EeZee Kricket - West Indies Version. The game pits players or teams of players against each other to see who can score the most runs by answering trivia questions about the West Indies cricket team.

Corbin is proud of his heritage and of the fact that his island produced Sir Garfield Sobers. He said by taking the approach of former West Indies captain Clive Lloyd in that "cricket is the glue that binds us together," his game continues that tradition by placing it on a board with 64 squares, each one representing a cricketing event.

Corbin said in a press release: "When you add two players with a fondness for cricket heroes, an acute knowledge of its history and a keen, competitive spirit, then you have a match set for a nail-biting finish."

Bowling an over is simulated by throwing a dice six times, and as the batsman moves around the board depending on the throw of the dice, runs and extras are scored and a batsman may lose his wicket. A cricket question determines when a batsman actually loses his wicket. The batsman must answer the question incorrectly to lose his wicket.

Corbin said one of the unique features of his game will allow teachers and coaches of cricket to teach young people "the history of the game in an exciting and stress-free manner.

"Students will find this game extremely fascinating to play and very educational at the same time."[[In-content Ad]]
