"All You Can Eat Buffet" Cricket

[gullshark]

Anyone ever played this? Its a simple game that can be played at any all you can eat buffet.

You get runs for a plateful or a drink, and you can get out in various scenarios

Rules -

6 runs for a stacked plate (above the lip of the plate)
4 runs for a full plate
2 runs for half a plate
1 run for a side plate

2 runs for an alcoholic drink
1 run for a soft drink

2 runs for a pudding

You can get out in the following ways

Run Out - The waiter / waitress takes your old plate away while you are up at the buffet with a new one
Bowled - You can't finish the plate you are on
Caught - You drop food on you
LBW - You can't finish a plate cause you don't like the food on it
Hit Wicket - You drop your cutlery on the floor
Stumped - You can't finish your drink

For example, in Wokmania earlier one of my friends was run out for 14 whilst going for the ice cream.

I was almost caught but I deflected my rogue noodle tward the floor with a swift chopstick sweep.

Yes its stupid

To the large one that is just snack cricket

I can't believe I didn't get run out by the chicken satay and indonesian chicken while chasing a quick 2 with the chocolate fountain.

Still, 14 not out aint too bad, i'll blast that total in my next innings

The rules at Buffet Island are
10 runs per full plate, makes the score get up to more respectable levels
5 for a half eaten plate

last innings i made a quickfire 70 before being bowled by the neopolitan icecream

Pizza buffet + Salad.




'Pizza only Buffet' is the ONLY choice. Salad is there to distract the flies from the Pizza cart.
