1994 WICKETZ Cricket Board Game by Paul Lamond, England

Description

“The Most Authentic Cricket Board Game Ever”

Here’s a nice example of this sought after Cricket simulation game, made in England by Paul Lamond.  The game is complete with a full set of playing pieces, cards etc.  (see contents list below).  Although not part of the original set, the game also includes a dice and some coloured markers in the corner of the board, presumably used for a variant of the official Rules?  These additions do not detract from the original game.  The contents are in very good, clean condition with no creasing to the cards.
