Bowling
•AIMING – Use the DIRECTONAL PAD to move the BALL AIM INDICATOR on the screen. The cursor will indicate where the ball will pitch if bowled at maximum power.
•SPIN/ SEAM SELECTION – Use the 3 SPIN SELEC- TION buttons A, B, or C to determine what type of ball will be bowled. Note that a spin bowler will be able to manipulate the ball better than a fast bowler.
NOTE: You must keep your chosen button combina- tion held down until you’ve completed your bowling motion to ensure correct delivery.
NOTE: The SPIN SELECTION is not locked until the throwing motion begins. A – Ball will spin or seam to the left (as seen from the batter’s perspective). C – Ball will spin or seam to the right (as seen from the batter’s perspective). B – Applies top spin.
A + B – Applies left and top spin. C + B – Applies right and top spin. A + C – Applies bottom spin. A+B+C – No spin
•BOWLING – To bowl the ball the player must use force and a bowling movement. The degree of force will determine the speed of the ball. The length of the pitch will be determined by the power bar that rises as the bowler runs up to the popping crease. The closer the gauge is to the maxi- mum line, the more accurate the ball will be. If the gauge goes over the line, then the player will bowl a no-ball.
No-Balls and Wides
No balls will occur if the bowler goes over the maximum line of the power gauge or if the ball bounces more than twice before it reaches the batsman. A wide will be called if the ball is bowled wide. In either case the batsman will receive 1 extra run and the ball will not be counted as part of the over. The batsman can still choose to run on either ball.
BATTING
Batting will take place in BATTER’S VIEW with three different actions: SWINGING, BLOCKING, and RUNNING.
•SWINGING – Once the ball has been thrown, the player should swing the bat to hit the ball. Hitting the ball is a matter of timing.
•BLOCK – To block the ball instead of swinging at it, press the BLOCK but- ton on the bat when the ball is bowled. Note that the ball will only be blocked if it is heading toward the wicket.
•RUNNING – Once a ball has been hit, the player can choose to RUN by pressing the RUN button situated on the Cricket Bat. Player can stop run- ning by pressing the RUN button again. On release of the RUN button the batsmen will continue to complete the run they are on, unless they haven’t reached the halfway point, in which case they will turn back. If the ball hits the stumps before the batsmen complete their run, player will be OUT.
WAYS OF GETTING OUT
In professional cricket there are 10 ways of getting out. To keep things simple ConnecTV Cricket uses the four main ways.
Bowled
The ball hits the stumps directly from the bowler’s ball.
LBW
The ball is deemed to have hit the batsman’s leg when it would otherwise have hit the stumps
Caught
The fielding team catches the ball from the player’s bat before it bounces.
Run Out
The fielding team hit the stumps before the batsman reaches it while running.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
TV
To locate your auxiliary channel, which is usually not 3 or 4, but a gaming channel found between 2 and 99 (example 2, 1, 0, 99), first try 00 to see if it is the auxiliary channel. Channels downwards from 3 until a Line 1 or Line 2, Video 1 or Video 2, Front, Aux, AV, etc., appears on screen, then push the power button on the game and it should automatically come on if you have selected the correct channel. If this does not work, another way to determine your auxiliary channel is to take a look at your television remote. There may be a button on the remote that may take you directly to the correct channel. The buttons you are looking for may be labeled Input, AUX, AV, Line, TV/Video, or Video. If your remote has one of these buttons, turn your televi- sion back to Channel 3 and select that button. The power button on the game should be turned on in order for the game to appear on the television. If your television remote does not have any of these buttons, and channel 00 is not working, you may need to search the main menu for a way to deter- mine your auxiliary channel. If none of these methods have helped you locate your auxiliary channel, you may need to check your owner's manual and/or contact a local television repair company.
VCR
When connecting to a VCR, you must first start with a blue background show- ing on your television screen. To obtain a blue screen, try inserting a videotape into the VCR, let it start to play, then hit the stop button. This may give you a blue screen, then you can channel down to your auxiliary channel. If the blue screen still does not appear, try entering your TV and/or VCR main menu and see if it gives you options to select a blue screen background. Many times if you enter the main menu on your television you can change the setting from cable to video and display a blue screen. Also if you have an older television, you may locate a hidden door on your television that has color, picture, horizon- tal, vertical, and cable, antennae buttons. If your television includes this panel, you can select the antennae/cable button and see the blue screen appears. If you have tried all of these options and are still unsuccessful connecting the console, then you may need to check your VCR owner’s manual or contact the manufacturer to find out how to set up your VCR for console games.
Remember, you can't play our games through a cable box or satellite, so if you own one of these make sure it is turned off before connecting the game. You can connect our games through DVD players with the same connection as a VCR.
If you still have difficulty with setup or operation of your game, please call our players helpline mentioned at the end of this manual.
