Ashes

Description

Ashes is a two-player recreation of cricket matches between England and Australia - the introductory test explains the origin of the name. Player names are real for the time, but can be edited. There are ten different venues, five in each country, each of which have different pitches affecting the bowling - weather delays during the match can affect the pitch's behaviour. The bowling team has twenty different fielding positions to select from for their nine movable players (excluding the bowler and wicket-keeper). There are twenty types of bowling delivery to choose from, based on the desired line and length - the batting team must react to these by choosing from nine stroke types, and timing their press accurately.
