To everyone complaining...you kids of today don't know you're born.
Now then, when I were a lad, we had games like this on Spectrum and BBC running on cassette and floppy. At other times we'd have programs with about 600 command lines that you'd have to type out correctly, all for the computer to take about five minutes to draw a picture. And you'd get angry if your parents or annoying little sistser 'accidentally' pressed the BREAK button.
But still, we were grateful for it.

:ooo SOME Game !!! TOOO SICK - how could they generate such realistic 3d graphics with that sound quality and amazing colours- This surpasses all the cricket games ive played in my life :D

This game is almost as bad as the current australian team

This is still the only cricket game where you could get retired hurt LOL they were the days

@mymentor I was just thinking how fantastic the graphics were. Why does the man at slip look like a vase though?

I played this for days... And the reason why you bowled with Gooch and Athey is that using the proper bowlers required you to waggle the joystick ferociously then press fire at the right moments, and had no noticeably different results than using a rubbish bowler. Gower was my leading bowler, and anyone who ever saw him actually bowl will realise how realistic /that/ is.

Cricket just doesn't translate well into a computer game.
I've had 40 wickets fall before lunch on the first day!

Crikey! I had to do a double-take there, for a moment I thought it was an actual test match! Amazing what they can do with graphics, isn't it?
