I have a bunch of inlaws coming up and it might prevent me from going insane or at least having words with them.I could use the cricket game to vent any likely frustrations.

The batsman was a small cylinder on the end of a rod,suspended from the end of a plastic z shape. To bat you pulled it back by a string, then let it go. The bowler would roll either a plastic ball or a ball bearing down a shoot, using backspin or sidespin. Otherwise it looked like your picture, although the fielders were all white plastic and the same size.
