Tim Love’s Cricket
Time to dig out those whites and pads and have a game of cricket. You have the
chance here to play a sixty over game against a friend or the computer. You
can choose your own team but if you don’t fancy it then England or the Rest of
the World are your two choices. If you win the toss you can choose whether to
bowl or bat first. Another option is your skill level, Test, County or
Village. If you choose to bowl first you can choose from six bowlers who are
fast, medium or spin.
The game is viewed behind the bowler and umpire at a elevated angle. As the
bowler is running towards the crease, the speed, direction and pitch of the
ball can be controlled. The spin and swing can be controlled as well for the
spin or medium bowler. After the ball is released the screens switches and you
can now see the front view of the batsman at a elevated angle. The batsman can
control the angle and height of the bat as well as his position on the crease.
If the ball is hit or missed without hitting the stumps or a LBW, the view
switches to a top down view of the pitch showing the position of all the
fielders. Here the batsman can decide to run or the nearest fielder to the
ball can be controlled.
