Whilst loosely based upon the game of cricket, many aspects are improvised: the playing ground, the rules, the teams, and the equipment. Quite often there are no teams at all; the players take turns at batting and there is often less emphasis on actually scoring runs. A bat of some kind is necessary. The bat can be anything, as long as it can hit the ball and can be suitably held in the hands. A ball (often a tennis ball, since this is less likely than a cricket ball to inflict injury) is the other essential item.

The pitch can be any stretch of ground that is reasonably flat. The wicket may be any convenient object - a cardboard box, a rubbish bin, case of beer, telegraph pole, or tree. Often, the wicket is by no means close to the official size, but it is used anyway!

The g2w game challenges the batting skills of a player. The game lasts for 3 overs and the player has to score a certain number of runs in the allotted overs without getting his team out. The game features 3 levels of difficulty each level being a different stage featuring different characters. The increase in difficulty means increase in precision of the bowler. Hence the chance of the batsmen getting out is more. Also, the game has three typical locations where the game is played – a Mumbai Chawl, a Building Society and a College Campus.

Says Alok Kejriwal – CEO and Founder - Games2win.com – 'Gully Cricket is a prime example of how games2win creates international quality games using Indian themes. The format is a riot of entertainment while combining great game play. We expect gully cricket to become a major hit worldwide'
