BBC Cricket Website LBW Game - I must be a bit dim!

Help me here my little cricketing buddies!

I went to the BBC Sport website, to the cricket section, and there is a link to play the 'LBW Game' where they play you 5 clips of an LBW and the umpires decison, and then you choose which factors influenced his decision and tick the relevent boxes for points.

I scored very low, and I believe I understand the LBW law - the game didn't seem to make any sense, and the answers didn't seem to correspond to the film I was watching.

Someone please have a go at this game and tell me if I'm going mad!

Hmmm. I scored OK but don't understand the crosses and ticks either.

Got 23 out of 30, but was baffled by the fifth one as the only reason to give it not out was due to height, but the wording was very poor!!

I got 22/30. I was confused with the crosses theory also.

The 5th clip is indeed a puzzler, however I would like to play wherever the umpire they used has his teas!

Right finally got a 29 out of 30... what you have to do is click the button when that item is correct and leave blank when it is incorrect. The ticks and crosses are to tell you whether you ticked or left unticked the correct box...You score points for getting a green tick

So on the last one - the fifth - you have to leave everything unticked excpet for the "ball pitched in line with the stumps" button and you will get 5 points!!

What a very confusing game - you can actually score 20 points if you NEVER tick a box!!
