Description:

Run Chase is a simulation of One-Day cricket. You are the coach of a
One-Day Cricket side, taking your team through the league season.

In Run Chase we try to make the game work the same way as in real life,
with realistic decisions to be made about team management and on-field
captaincy. The choices you make are the same as you�d have to make in real
life. Sometimes you�ll have to make tough decisions, whether to sign
better players or invest your finances to improve future income.

In addition to the management decisions about signing and releasing
players you�ve also got to shuffle your lineup from game to game. You�ve
pitch and weather conditions to contend with, as well as players losing
form. You have to decide when to use your bowlers, and set scoring targets
for your batsmen.
