This upgraded version of the cricket game remains exclusive to the Mac and has impressive bowling sequences (both fast and spin) derived from the real-life action of world famous test bowlers. You still need to have quick reactions to score runs against the bowling attack which ranges from fast to cunning spin but as your confidence grows, you will find that you can hit boundaries off the bad balls. The scoreboard at the ground records your progress and the scorecards can be called up at any time for a more detailed view of the innings.
Our Review: Cricket is a very satisfying download - satisfying because the download is so small but the game is so good! It's a simple game of cricket but has choices of teams, game lengths etc. There's also a bowling machine to aid you in coordinating your batting skills (which are controlled by the mouse in an intuitive manner) and some well-placed sound effects. Sooo - the game is a worthwhile download but is limited by being a demo - and you don't seem to be able to field (despite the game letting you chose to do so).
