Don Bradman Cricket 14 review | Xbox 360 and PS3
3 minute read Buy Don Bradman Cricket 14 from Amazon No, you haven’t missed 13 iterations of this game. That 14’s the year. Quite why the year’s relevant when the game’s named after a guy who died 13 years ago is beyond us, but there you go. Why Don Bradman? It’s unusual to

3 minute read We finally got round to reading this. Oddly, this hasn’t clarified whether it’s worth reading or not. A friend who follows cricket fairly closely but who at the time hadn’t watched much of Sky’s coverage, once asked us about David Lloyd. He’d got the impression that Bumble was this self-consciously

4 minute read A quick bit of housekeeping before the second Test. We received a review copy of Alan Tyers’ new book a few weeks ago and haven’t yet said anything about it. On a related note, we’ll freely admit to not having read all of the cricket books, so if you’ve any

As far as we can tell, they decided they’d make the game from scratch, rather than doing the usual thing of updating the database and recording three more lines of

< 1 minute read We selected a fantasy IPL team on Cricinfo and were about to set up a league so that people could compete against us when we suddenly thought: ‘No, wait, this is bollocks.’ Do you want to know who the best players are for a Cricinfo fantasy IPL team? It’s whoever

2 minute read It’s December the 24th and we’re feeling festive, so we’re going to write about everyone’s favourite pastime – administration. In short, we have a demand: all potential cricket administrators should be forced to play four seasons on a cricket management game before they can be considered for any job. We

< 1 minute read We’re pretty sure we were meant to get this review up in time for Christmas. Hopefully Adam won’t mind. From reading his book, he seems like the kind of guy who’d understand failure to complete a relatively straightforward task. That happens quite frequently in Chasing Sachin. Not that Adam’s main

< 1 minute read Not as good as android cricket now being available on a stick. Yes, that’s right, today’s entire King Cricket offering is a limp one line joke based around our love of robots and our luddite attitude to mobile phones. We haven’t even explained what Stick Cricket is or included a
