So, this game is so terrible it apparently was removed from Steam after 3 or 4 days. There's an entertaining Giant Bomb quick look of this that demonstrates how awful it is, which for a cricket game is pretty interesting.

Just desserts for unleashing this surprise Cold War attack upon the states:

All I can think is "Clockwork Orange"

this is a realistic portrayal of an amateur cricket match i attended a few years ago. i have no idea what is going on, but everyone is surely inadequate.

This. Basically my school cricket career.


EvilHomer - 2013-11-27

Yeah, this is a pretty accurate depiction of cricket.

This will decide which is the best country in the world, India or Pakistan.

As an American, this is exactly what I see when I watch cricket.

As an Englishman, this is exactly what I see when I watch cricket.

As a Canadian, I don't think I've ever seen a cricket match.

As a quebecer, poutine.

Is this video game or real footage?


Riskbreaker - 2013-11-27

I was going to ask the same thing.


Ocyrus - 2013-11-28

I've been playing cricket for several years with some local Paki immigrants, and a few Englishmen. After all that, I still have no clue what is going on sometimes.


DavidBowiesLuckyTennisBall - 2013-11-28

I think your bewilderment goes beyond cricket.

Five stars for someone saying "Paki" sincerely without knowing to use it to get a rise out of people, or why.

I am actually a Level 0 certified cricket umpire (Yes, zero is actually a level). I haven't told anyone that for a long time.

And this is pretty much it.
And a single match (Test Cricket, anyway) goes for 5 days. I don't know of any other "sport" in which the participants take breaks for food and sleep during a single game.

Some popular cricket humour by The 12th man (Billy Birmingham):

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=the+12th+man&sm=3< br />
"with sales in excess of two million albums in Australia alone, the 12th man is the only Australian recording artist in history to have seven consecutive number one albums on the aria (Australian Record Industry Association) charts."

Good on ya, Australia.

This is probably a stupid question, but is 0 really low or really high?


morva - 2013-11-29

Sorry, this was meant to be a reply:

Zero is the absolute lowest, actually to call myself an umpire is a real stretch...it's more of a coaching thing, although I have officiated a couple of matches for youth cricket.
I think the official term is "Match Manager", instead of a full-blown umpire.

I got it in my senior year of high school because I was so bad at actually playing cricket that I failed to make even the lowest team - and there 6 teams in my year alone. The national cricket association was running the course for free.
That, and it would get me an award of Full Services to Cricket™, which meant fancy gold decoration on my blazer.
