Batting, hit it as hard as you can off every ball, make sure it goes over the rope and you get 6 runs. Bowling, hit the stumps every time.
Don't bother spinning your leg that's just showboating.

pay Boeta to give you a few lessons. If you haven't played before, then prepare for the worse. Just hope you don't get a nice opening bouncer.  |

Bring a nice freash bottle top from your last drink and pick the seam on the ball. Works wonders, (ask Mr Atherton).

Its gonna take time to master the art of Batting and Bowling, when i used to play i made sure i went in at 11 so i had no pressure on me and it also gave me the freedom to just go out all guns blazing!.

Depends what sort of game it is...
If its one innings....they will probably make you batsman 11 and you wont get in
Then they will just stick you out on the boundry when you're team is fielding
