This aside, it's a pleasingly playable affair, at least on the easier Slog mode or Village setting, with greater precision needed for County and Test. Batting is mainly a pleasure, and cracking a six into the crowd is a possibility for all but the most cack-handed buffoon. As for bowling, there aren't as many options as in Cricket and it's largely a case of varying the attack and hoping for the best.
The fielding is marginally interactive, with a meter appearing above the fielder's head and an accurate button press resulting in an accurate throw.
It may not be a deal-breaker, but Brian Lara International Cricket features not only a ridiculously long name, but also the biggest commentary team ever to appear in any cricket game. Plus, apart from the usual test and one-day options, classic matches including the original Ashes and Bodyline series are playable in grainy black and white, although we should point out that when aiming to recreate the s, having advertising hoardings with website addresses on them somewhat undermines the effect.
Overall, while there's not much between the two, Lara is a marginally quicker, more dynamic and ultimately more accessible affair than Cricket , which is more suited to hardcore cricket fans. Forget the whole thing and just watch The Ashes with a cold beer. Browse games Game Portals. Brian Lara International Cricket Install Game.
