Cricket: goal and players
Play Cricket online on JAWNA at jawna.app. Check the goal and supported player counts before inviting your group. Read the rules even if you know the game: familiar names can have different variants, and your usual house rules may differ from the selected version.
Supported table sizes: 2, 3 or 4 players. Choose a player count in the game settings. In partner variants, check seats and teams first. In individual formats, each player competes for their own result. The in-game How to play screen provides details. Agree on the variant before your first round together.
How to play: rules
- Players take turns to bat an over of six balls from the bowling machine. Every round each player bats one over.
- Swipe up as the ball reaches the bat. The moment you swipe is your timing; the way you swipe (left, straight, right) is where the ball goes. A short swipe keeps it on the ground, a long one lifts it.
- Perfect timing in the air is a SIX; on the ground it races away for FOUR unless a fielder is in the way. Good timing gets 2, or 4 in the air if no fielder is there to catch it.
- Orange markers show the fielders for this over. Lift it near one and you may be caught. Miss a ball that is on the stumps and you are bowled. A wicket ends your over.
- Most runs after the last over wins.

History & origins
Cricket developed in England, with clear written evidence from the late 16th century and organised play expanding in later centuries.
Its bat-and-ball tradition spread internationally and developed several match formats, from long games to short limited-overs contests.
Jawna focuses on timing a shot and finding gaps in the field. This is a short batting adaptation rather than the full historical match structure.
