I have not enjoyed a cricket game so much since Shane Warne Cricket 99 on the PSX. This still has flaws like when you field every time you piff the ball to the keeper even if you are 2 meters away from him, graghically isn't up with other sport games and has unlicensed players. But it is a very playable game and it focuses on what cricket is really about. Batting you need the right timing and selection of shot and to bowl you need variation, placement and to bowl to your field.
Commentary and Sounds are good and it has all the game modes to keep you happy including an innovative mode called Double Wicket in which you choose any 2 players, as little as 2 overs and try to get the highest score. However you lose runs if you lose wickets.
Lastest and probably the most important of the lot is that the difficulty settings are just right and go up just as you like them.
