is this a video game of the sport cricket? I never even hear about that now, it seemed to drop off the face of the earth. It used to be a huge part of the culture of my country, all the players were household names. Up till the 2000s i'd say. Then I don't know what happened but I don't think I know anyone who could name a current cricket player
English? I'm pretty sure they stopped showing it on public broadcast tv around then so the casual viewership disappeared and removed the sport from the public consciousness.
Same in Australia.
No one wants to show/watch tests anymore, and all the short-form versions are fragmented and full of nobodies who don't get a chance of gaining the celebrity-level following that the greats had 20 years ago.
No one recognises anyone, no one watches anything.
Yeah it was either Sky or BTsport that got exclusive rights. It killed the sport dead. It's bizzare how quickly it went from being basically the national sport after football, to being completely irrelevant.
Anon, when was the last time a video game about Cricket was highly rated?
Probably a decade?
What did you expect?
Like watching it, used to love playing it, but it just doesn't work for bideo gaymes
So it's ground ping pong? Why is he bouncing the ball on the ground while the batter hits that naynay? What am I looking at here? Baseball you can see and instantly know the rules while this is some mahjong bullshit right off the bat
>Pitcher throws ball >Batter hits ball >Batter runs to base >Repeat until the batters miss enough balls
Meanwhile I have zero clue what's going on when watching a cricket clip.

Batter's protecting the stumps with the bat and also not trying to get caught when they hit the ball.
Bowlers trying to trip them up by bowling fast or tricky.
Fielders trying to catch the batters out or throw the ball back to the stumps while the batters are running laps of the pitch to score points.
If the ball gets to the boundary everyone takes a chill pill because obviously that's worth some points so why bother with the running around caper.
It's a game literally designed to be quietly played in the background of pompous english social events for days at a time. Long long periods of the batter just tapping the ball and going "Nah, not going to run for that".

You protect the stumps with your bat, not your legs, that's just ungentlemanly.
>fielders are clapping
Probably took a wicket i.e. struck out the batsman
Why is the bowler scratching his crotch on the field, I have no idea. Probably a victory pose

No dumbass, it's a game about a cricket.
That's not even so much less likely now given the state of the game, that's why I had to ask
Zapper got 23 sequels while I wasn't looking?
And they’re right proper bangers chap, every one.

It got moved from channel 9 to 7 but home games are still on free tv in and it's doing okay, at least compared to England.

Holy shit the IGN review for this game is really long
Doesn't matter. Half a billion Pajeets will still buy it the same way Germans and English buy every FIFA.
>buy
Most of us pirate games if possible, games in general are overpriced here
Piracy used to be more rampant before netflix and Amazon etc, etc
The frick is cricket? It looks like a more feminine version of girl's softball
Bri'ish baseball
The British also invented baseball. They just play cricket instead because it's better.

Cricket is just shittier baseball
Good morning sir. Kindly do the needful and revert soonest.
Brian Lara cricket is better
Isn't Cricket unironically one of the biggest sports? Pretty sure AB De Villiers is a diety in India.

Cricket is played by most of the commonwealth, lad. Afghanistan has a national cricket team too.
