For those of you who have played this game for a long time, you already intuitively play this way. Cricket is a strategy game, it has its rules, and scoring 'points' is part of the rules and an important part of the game. While one can take it too far and use 'points' to humiliate others, that's just bad sportsmanship. When good Cricket players 'point' each other, it is out of respect for the opposition's potential for good play and you know that you need to do this to beat them. When good Cricket players do this to less accomplished players, it can be taken too far.
Nobody likes to be humiliated.
I have a good memory and I have gotten back at everyone that has had the 'nads' to do this to me in the past when I was just starting out. As the saying goes, 'What comes around, goes around'. Use good judgement as to how many 'points' you need to stay comfortably ahead of your opponents. I recently played some UK locals in a game that they called 'Cricket'. The people scoring points could only count those points in a turn that were greater than 40, for example, three single 20's equals a combined total of 60 points, but only 20 points are recorded as the first 40 points did not count.
