Simple but fun Cricket Video Game

As I am currently recovering from a hang-over and it’s raining in Chicago I’ve been surfing the web all afternoon.

I came across this little gem.

Now I am not a fan of cricket, I don’t even know the rules but this game is great fun.

I can get all the way to Pakistan but I just can’t beat them.

Site has a pop-up but my standard pop-up blocker stopped it.

Thanks. If you can beat Pakistan on the link I posted then you are a better player than I!

Not a bad game. Nice graphics when you hit the scoreboard. I’ve got as far as England.

How do you play that ball that’s coming right at your head? I mean, I can duck, but I need 3.3 runs per ball so if all I do is get out of the way, I’m falling behind the pace I need to win.

All I know is when I didn’t duck and was hit in the head there were lovely graphics of me collapsed and bleeding amoungst the wicket stumps. And the crowd cheered! And people think (the people who doen’t play it of course) that cricket is some kind of benign innoculose pastoral game!

I have no idea how this game is played. In real or video form.

You just have to swing down the middle early or duck. That’s part of the problem with the game, you can be on a nice run and then it serves up 3-4 unhittable balls.

The code for Pakistan (Which I think is the last team) is Toad.

Impossible to beat.
