Thats the one i had!! hours of fun with that game as a kid :)Seeming as you mentioned cricket as well, I had this little beauty. I even sent off for the West Indies team, who were the same fielders but black with the maroon jumpers. Great game
This is the cricket one you mentioned and that I hadBeen thinking about those games I had as a kid that you played in the house on rainy days. Apart from the obvious Subbuteo or the earlier version "Newfooty" does anyone remember a board game called "Wembley"? 64 teams on cards you drew from a hat and rolled two dice for the scores, round by round till the Cup Final. Or a card game called "Penalty"? Think there was also a cricket game "Owzat?" in a tin box. Any others that folk can recall?
Have the older version of that (somewhere in the loft) where the batting mechanism is metal with a simple ‘hammer’ as the bat and no batsman figure, the fielders just monochrome stylised plastic ‘stick men’ with no individual poses (very flimsy and too often broke off from the base) and the surround a simple wooden rectangle. Much less aesthetically pleasing than this more modern counterpart but still afforded us hours of fun. Also still have the two ‘Owzthat’ cylinders (they were my dad’s) but without the tin box, alas. Such a simple concept for a game that could be played anywhere. Who needed on-line games back in the day, eh?Seeming as you mentioned cricket as well, I had this little beauty.
