For filling small gaps in my schedule this is a lot of fun:
Top score today is 182, I think 250 was my highest.
And for @tomchick 's benefit, this is not rounders.

Thread is nothing without proof!
Thank you for making this thread! I was going to try to find an old Cricket game thread to resurrect.
I do like it. It’s a shame that you can’t do the other side too, i.e. bowling. You only do the batting in this one. But I like the ball physics and such. Nice little game.
If the snails ever put in a square leg I’m going to be in a lot of trouble.
I just got 81.
What the hell is Cricket?! I knew what a Cricket bat was, sure, I’ve seen movies before, but it turns out I have zero idea what is actually happening in this sport?
Forget it Scott, it’s Cricket-town.
You should probably just turn and run away right now. While there’s still time.
Is it possible to hit the ball in the air? I certainly can’t do it.
Yes. If you hit it in the air and out of the field you get six runs!
I mean, I understand that as a concept. Is it something about where you click or timing or what? Everything I hit is on the ground.
Yep, timing.
It also seems to depend somewhat on the delivery. If the Snail sends a quick one down short of a length then it’s much easier to hoik it over cow corner. The dibbly dobblers that bite on a length and turn through off are much harder to send to the rope.
Those leggies gave me some trouble for my first couple of games.
Finally got done by a grubber, where was the no-ball call, ump?
I love the animations in this. It’s pretty fun, though I think my failing comes from getting bored and my subconscious “lets me off the hook” by making me mrs-click (mr. click’s asshole wife).
Things were splendid until my side took a downie after a 4,6,6 and the smacker bagged a wee marsher, putting the other side’s try behind both the aft wickets! Final score: twentington.
My brain is immune to understanding cricket.
Pretty cool superpower, right?
+1 Like.
Nice work buddy, that’s concentration for you. I usually get done trying to drive a yorker to silly point.
Its like baseball but actually good.
