Allan Border Cricket - Classic Game



One of the few computer games recreating cricket, the traditional summer pastime in many English-speaking countries. The game had different licenses with well-known cricketers in different countries. It was Audiogenic's second cricket game, 8 years after the previous Graham Gooch's Test Match.All the international sides are present, with the chance to change the player data and choose the team yourself. Test match and limited-overs matches are available, with 1 or 2 innings per team, and you can turn the Leg-before-wicket dismissal off, which makes the game easier to understand.
Anyway, the game was best one available (for cricket) till 1996, graphics wise. The players are too old... may have to edit that. One great thing is that this game allows you to edit the players and teams, the number of teams that could be generated is unlimited! Also there are many configuration options, like turning on/off LBW... One Day match or Test match and so on. A must download for all cricket fans. This game is best run under DOS not win 95 (may still work).
There are 3 skill levels - Amateur, Professional and World Class. The bowling involves positioning a cursor to place the bowl, then controlling the speed/spin (depending on the type of bowler selected). Batting involves timing one of the many available shots, and fielding is largely automated.
