1999 World Cup Limited Overs by Owzat Games

Limited Overs is a swift replay simulation of English domestic one-day cricket, covering the CGU National League, Benson & Hedges Cup, and Natwest Bank Trophy. A typical 40-overs match takes around an hour to replay, less than half the time of the International Cricket system, but longer than the County Championship format. Each player is rated for batting (using a batting card number and personal factors), bowling (strike value and economy factor), or wicket-keeping (a simple 0-3 rating). Weather and pitch conditions can change during the game. Batsmen can choose from four batting modes, determining the number of balls replayed per over. The chosen mode also modifies the bowler's strike value when a chance occurs, influenced by weather, pitch, new ball use, and batsman's form. Four dice are rolled per ball replayed, with the yellow die determining automatic dot balls. Results are primarily taken from batting cards (83.33%), with the rest from bowling cards, involving the bowler's economy factor or producing chances. Batsmen are more vulnerable initially, while bowlers' strike values increase with wickets and decrease with dropped catches. Each of the fifty batting cards produces a unique batting average, ranging from 6.4 to 82, with varying scoring rates per over. Player stats aim to replicate real-life averages and playing styles, influenced by personal factors. The game's primary goal is to provide a quick, accurate, and statistical experience, with the International Cricket game offering more player personality.
