All of which prompted a decision to crank open the Owzthat dice for another game; the first for donkey’s years; to see how an England XI would fare against a Yorkshire XI from down the years.

During long summer school holidays that stretched out as endlessly as a Boycott innings, there was one, indomitable saving grace when it rained. The player keeps rolling batting die and adds score to the batsman's score until 'owzthat' turns up.A number of minor practicalities came to light during this truncated ODI. I’m fairly sure I used a proper scorecard in the past or at least scored with a deliberate, ponderous nature that aided accuracy. It’s highly probable this software program is malicious or contains unwanted bundled software. Why is this software program no longer available in our Catalog? This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software. Why is the software program still available? Does this compact, nugget, no-frills companion still have any relevance in today’s world of apps, notifications, ultra-high-def landscape? Sure it does.

Now in truth, the game was in no way shape or form the meticulous scoring opus of my former teen years. Involving the dice, a diary to scribble the scores and away we went, it was definitely more T20 than Test match in its formulation. Howzat's unique scoring system ensures that points are awarded for each and every statistical contribution of players on the field.

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives. What is a false positive? In essence though, it involved rolling a pencil to decide if the batsmen scored 1,2,3,4, 6 or was out. If out, the same pencil (or another if you were particularly flash) equated to either not out, caught, LBW, etc. That Jimmy Anderson top-scored with 22 as England slid to 110 all out from 7.4 overs tells you all you need to know about both the run rate and balsa wood fragility of England’s batting. Player die has 6 options marked '1', '2', '3', '4', 'owzthat', and '6'. Umpire die also has 6 options marked 'bowled', 'stumped', 'caught', 'not out', 'no ball', and 'LBW' respectively.
