This is the algorithm for actual batting using keyboard Dry Run controls and animated objects. CPU player will start the Case I: event by initiating ‘Bowling event’. User will accept that Ball = 10 event and react using keyboard controls. The direction of Batsman = Sachin Tendulkar (Form = 3, Ratting = 8) the ball will depend upon Bowler = Morne Morkel (Form = 9, Ratting = 8) - Original direction Pitch Bowling -10 - Batsman timing (It will be affected by batsman New Batsman +10 parameters. i.e. more delay for less rated player.)
