Play 2 or 4 innings.
Scoring setup:
Inning 1
Bowler Batsman -------|--------- 1| | 2| | 3| | 4| | 5| | 6| | 7| | 8| | 9| | 10| | 11| | 12| |
Closest to the Bull gets choice of Bowler or Batsman.
Each following Innings the Batsman and Bowler swap over.
Another variation on this game (and one I particularly like) is to use a subtraction factor of 60 instead of 40 for the batsman, and also to use the doubles (1, 2, 3, ...,12) instead of the Bull to take wickets.
