Allan Border's Cricket

One of the few computer games that mimics cricket, the traditional summer pastime in many English-speaking countries.

All international teams are present and have the opportunity to change player details and select the team themselves. Test matches and limited overs games are available, with 1 or 2 innings per team, and you can turn off the leg-before-wicket dismissal, making the game easier to understand.

There are 3 skill levels: amateur, professional and world class. When bowling, you need to position a cursor to place the bowl and then control the speed/spin (depending on the type of bowler you select). Hitting involves timing one of the many available shots, and hitting is largely automated.
