EEZEE KRICKET – an innovative, exciting and challenging board game
Senior winner of the Eezee Kricket game Gilbert Bailey collecting his US$50.00 prize from this Eezee Cricket representative.
The game of cricket is one of the few sporting institutions that serve as binding agent for the West Indian Community. But currently, the fabric of this institution seems to be fossilizing with a great deal of alacrity and some measures should be adopted to stop the deterioration and restore our cricket to where it once was.
There are a number of theories posited to explain the current state of affairs – luck luster performance of the current professional team, a proliferation of distractions that young West Indians are faced with; talents are now diverted to other disciplines etc.
Whatever is the reason, what is noticeable, is the lack of historic knowledge by both amateur and professionals about the game of cricket. Hence we need to develop creative ways in which we can communicate its history in such a manner that makes it entertaining and educating.
Eezee Kricket is an innovative, exciting and challenging board game that is intended to improve one’s knowledge of the sport and ‘ignite’ West Indians passion. It lifts the game right off the field and places it on a board with sixty-four squares, each one representing an event in cricket during an actual match.
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!
Eezee Kricket is educational, easy to play, engaging fun for the complete family, brings people together and is for ages 10 to adult. It comes with easy and challenging questions for the young and old, and best of all you can add your own commentary as the game progresses.
Eezee Kricket captures all the nuances of the limited over game in a handy, portable kit. Before the game begins, competing teams agree the number of overs. 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.
It was launched at Guyexpo 2010 and many persons who had a chance to sample the game found that it lived up to what it advocates. On Sunday there was a competition and the adult with the highest score won US$50.00. Mr. Gilbert Bailey posted a score of 23 runs for 1 wicket and was the recipient of the prize.
The top child was Sherwin Bobb who scored 20 runs, losing one wicket in the process.
The game is perfect for family, clubs and group activities and is also a great gift idea.
Plans to have a television version are in train and participants will win big cash. Persons wishing to have more information or desirous of purchasing a copy of Eezee Kricket can call 227 7522.
