3 minute read International Cricket 2010 is a rubbish name, but it’s a great game. Batting The batting in Ashes Cricket 2009, the last version of this game, was excellent. It’s now slightly better with greater control of each shot’s power. If you don’t try and knock the leather off the ball, you’ve

Freddie Flintoff’s Powerplay Cricket – press release timing failure
< 1 minute read “Play as Freddie Flintoff and become an integral player for England in this fast moving, high scoring arcade cricket game.” That should perhaps read: “Play as Freddie Flintoff and engage in long, soul-destroying rehabilitation programmes that are ultimately unsuccessful. Slowly come to accept that your days as an international cricketer

< 1 minute read The 2010 version of International Cricket Captain is out. It’s a good game, but pretty similar to the 2009 version really. Our ICC 2009 review should tell you everything you need to know if you’ve never played the game before. Other than that, we want to voice a gripe. To

< 1 minute read Last night, we did a live review of Codemasters’ new game International Cricket 2010 on Twitter. We played a Twenty20 match as Pakistan and basically got battered.

< 1 minute read We’ve been having a discussion with someone about whether this is funny or not. If you have to explain a joke, it generally isn’t funny. But surely not in this instance. Surely. Bellingham and Smith is a cricket bat manufacturer. We’re of the belief that this is a new business

< 1 minute read Frank’s been on. He’s made a thing: “It has been shortlisted in a business competition run by Barclays. If I beat the other two finalists in a public vote, I win 50 grand to help get the things on the market. I’ve had some great support from Goochie, two Floweries

< 1 minute read Massively disappointed that this isn’t an International Cricket Council backstab simulator. That joke worked better before we realised it was ‘IC’ and not ‘ICC’. We get a penny every time a new person watches this. We’re thinking about buying ourself some crisps later in the year. To be honest, we’re

2 minute read First, a disclaimer: we went to Jarrod’s wedding. Set against that is the fact that he’s Australian, so we probably average out as being impartial. People always talk about the swearing and the sex references when they talk about Jarrod’s writing. Jarrod himself often plays up to this, but he’s
