A great replay cricket game in the same spirit as Strat-o-Matic. The game is still produced under license from Owzat Games and new sets of play cards are created to supplement the game, from recent years to historical series. Without doubt, it is the best ball-by-ball replay cricket game available, and unlike many of the bigger name quickies over the past 30-40 years, it has astounding replay value, an active online community and a host of great addons (including weather and pitch packs, domestic teams and the above mentioned yearly updates). Well worth a look. INTERNATIONAL CRICKET The ultimate cricket board game and one of the best and detailed replay sports game ever published.
