Annoying crappy cricket game

You have been warned...

seems to have been designed by Dravid and Boycott. You get plenty of Mendis type deliveries.

Hmm, I managed to stop the ball, then hit it backwards onto my stumps.

Then I tried to see how many balls I could collect on the pitch... I managed 10, and then the next ball hit the pile of balls at my feet and launched into the stumps.

Its good for a 5 minute laugh.

HS of 149

I got 147, then the ball got stuck under my bat and I had no option but to shovel it into my stumps.

Was quite pleased with this attempt at gathering balls though...

Rahul Dravid !

He sure plays straight.

HS - 296

Yeah, but is that score or runs?

I scored 161 runs a while ago. Dont know what it made my score though.

me too!

I made a meagre 42.

I saw this game a couple of months ago, didn't pay attention to my score, but scored a century of runs with a pretty decent strike rate I believe.

There is no way you could have played this shitty game and not paid attention to the score.

vilks was probably pissed...

Anyone played World of Goo yet? Bought it on Steam a couple of days back. Oozes class. Brilliant sh!t.

Just played this, third go, 141 runs, strike rate 2.13, score 300.

Oh I did pay attention at the time, at best I was getting "scores" of around 250-300, but was only really interested in getting a century of runs. Once I got that I lost interest. I smacked the shit out of every ball though so my strike rate (and subsequently my score) was probably pretty high. It's all about runs though, was annoyed they put a "score" on it. You don't get extra runs in test cricket if you score at a faster rate.

Thing is if you block or nudge every ball you eventually get out because they miraculously collide in mid air. Or you get the ball that never gets to you and lies in the middle of the pitch, which is then hit by the next ball sent down which will get you out.

Took me about 5 tries to get used to the controls.

I think 117 runs for a score of 351 is the best I did.

Written by the same bloke, this is even worse . . .

Boggered if I can get the hapless fool to move more than 2.6m!

I managed 5.6 but I was basically just dragging my knee across the ground. I figured out a painstaking way of moving very slowly by just tapping the buttons. Then I thought "this is sh*t" and stopped.

Aye, came to the same conclusion!

21.5 meters, all on my knees.

And never again.

Right.

I see what you two did now.

It trips you up with a hurdle at 50m to stop that tactic.

Yes, I was bored, but now it's time to shower and then go and get p*ssed.

IE 6? Tut tut.
