Book Cricket
Toss to decide who bats first
🪙
Call the toss — Heads or Tails?
Book Cricket is a beloved childhood pastime across South Asia — a simple game that turns any book into a cricket pitch. All you need is a book, two players, and a love of the game. No bat, no ball, no field required.
The game captures the thrill of cricket in its purest form: the tension of a toss, the excitement of a big page number, and the agony of a last digit of zero. It's been played in classrooms, libraries, and living rooms for generations.
