Quite buggy, and could do with some way of sorting names for when you are picking your squad, but it really manages to capture some of the excitement of a Test Match. The system seems to fall apart slightly in the shorter forms of the game, but the balance is just right for the Test Match. BRB, just come back 1-1 in the series with New Zealand, time to finish the Kiwis off! After playing this game for a good few hours, I can report it’s actually pretty addictive.

The match engine in this one is a great touch. The previous version was actually really quite good, and I only have a passing interest in cricket. The match engine in this one is a great touch.

Presumably some sort of six hour long quicktime event." As already hinted at, it's 'beer and sandwiches', surely? A minigame that has the benefit of being even more fun if you LARP it. “How do they manage 90% of the cricket experience: the ‘tea and sandwiches’ stage?

I love it. But not as much as the bats do, apparently. You're a dirty boy Kieron, even with the funny. I don’t like cricket…

I kid, I still enjoy watching cricket. Just not when my home nation is playing. They have an alarming tendency to beat everyone. It gets boring after a while.

After becoming completely engrossed in Worldwide Soccer Manager 2008 (as Football Manager is known here in the States), I actually wanted to try out a cricket game to get inside another sport not popular in the US that I will never be a fan of. No, seriously. You know, I was actually really excited when I saw the title for this post.

I prefer "Owzat" for the spectrum myself - it still makes no sense though. phuzz: most likely it was Brian Lara’s Cricket. I prefer “Owzat” for the spectrum myself – it still makes no sense though.
