Little Boy Reports | 8th April 2014
First off, this is not one of your traditional wham, bam and thank you ma’am kind of cricket game. Oh no, it isn’t! The game requires your full attention even in aspects of the game that most other cricket games would totally ignore, take sprinting and sliding in the field or the speed at which the batsmen convert one run into two for that matter. Detailed and intuitive controls for batting, bowling and fielding mean that players now have to invest a lot more time and effort into each decision they take on the field. Having said that, if you are venturing into this world of cricket ‘just for fun’ and carrying age old expectations, you will be bitterly disappointed (in other words: you will be a gonner!)…
