Hi Ari, I like your ideas but partly why I mentioned a cricket board game already popular and in existence is because that must be a easier option to get a cricket game off the ground. The dev wouldn't have to be an expert in the game, just convert the written rules and give it some atmospheric sound effects and playability. The 20 20 version would also be an easier version of the game to start off with. But hey! What do I know about programming?
