The best cricket board game in the world

...Is undoubtedly 'AB de Villiers' Super Cricket Challenge Game'. It is described as a "real life interactive 3D tabletop game!", exclamation mark and all. I have no idea how it works, but I am intrigued beyond belief at the fact that it is essentially some sort of board game. Cricket as a board game has never sounded so unfamiliar a concept.

The set includes:
  • 1 Trigger Action Batsman
  • 1 Spring Loaded Bowler
  • 1 Magnetic Wicket Keeper
  • 4 Magnetic Standing Fielders
  • 5 Magnetic Crouching Fielders
  • 1 Cricket Pitch
  • 1 Boundary Rope
  • 2 Balls
  • 8 Boundary Rope Holders
  • 1 Set of Score Sheets
  • 1 Set of Rules

And the game is for anywhere between 2-22 players, who cannot be under 3 years due to "small balls and small parts".

I don't know about you but any game that has a "spring-loaded bowler" and "magnetic crouching fielders" automatically wins points with me. Spring-loaded bowler. Imagine the damage you could do if you were a spring-loaded bowler.

I cannot fathom who would have devised this game, however. I need to get to South Africa so I can buy this.
