Build a Cricket Player questions

How do I build my own cricket player?

Each spin lands on a real cricketer, batter or bowler, and the six open traits split between the bat and the ball. Take a trait from each player you land, spin six times, and your cricketer can bat like one legend and bowl like another.

Can a batter give a bowling trait?

Only if he bowled. Batting traits come from runs scored and bowling traits from wickets taken, so a pure batter can give only the bat, and an all-rounder can give either.

Which cricketers are in the spin?

Any of 794 real cricketers from 1882 to 2026: batters, fast bowlers, spinners, all-rounders and wicketkeepers.

How are the cricket traits measured?

Batting Average is runs per dismissal and Strike Rate is runs per 100 balls. Run Machine counts runs in the season, Wicket Taker counts wickets, Economy is runs conceded per over and Bowling Strike is balls per wicket. Each rate is judged against the same format, so a T20 strike rate never meets a Test one.
