EA sports did one in 2005 and 2007 that was great. at least you enjoyed the game.

Wait, what?

Both the EA titles were bad jokes. Did you ever try sweeping a spinner, and miss?

The ball would hit you, you'd fall down (apparently dead - from being hit by a spinner :O ) and then the keeper would stump you.

Seriously, bro. This is far and away the best representation of cricket there has yet been. Playing the game feels much more like actually playing cricket, rather than playing a series of quick time events with a cricket graphic on top.

This game means I don't have to buy The Show anymore - I only ever bought The Show because there were no decent cricket games.

ocat: you've got some rose-tinted specs on. SWC/BLC didn't have no-balls, only gave wides if you played a stroke, flat out wouldn't run on Cyrix x86 CPU's and crashed often on AMD ones - and even crashed often on many 3DFX cards (including the one I had at the time) although one of the selling points was the 3DFX performance.

Yes, it was good at the time. It's not fit to clean the shoes of DBC 14
