Cricket is a Shareware program by Graham Randall. It has gone through many versions the latest of which is v8. The new screenshots certainly looks very impressive. Not owning a Mac I can not play this game properly although I did have some luck getting v5.1 to work with Executor (a Mac emulator for the PC). I also managed to have a quick play of v4 on a friend Mac some years ago. It is quite a fun game and one that if I had a Mac I would pay the £15 registration fee. It is a simulation of batting where you see the ball being delivered and play a cricket shot by moving the mouse. Dependant on timing and how smoothly you move the mouse dictates the shot and any runs scored. At one stage I did approach Graham with a view to writing a PC version as it is a unique game. This as yet has not materialised but may-be one day. Graham's Notes New features in v8

This upgraded version of the cricket game remains exclusive to the Mac and has impressive bowling sequences (both fast and spin) derived from the real-life action of world famous test bowlers. You still need to have quick reactions to score runs against the bowling attack which ranges from fast to cunning spin but as your confidence grows, you will find that you can hit boundaries off the bad balls. The scoreboard at the ground records your progress and the scorecards can be called up at any time for a more detailed view of the innings. In the full version of Cricket, each team can be selected from a squad of 15 players and you need to assess the bowling and batting performance of the players to improve your team's performance. Batsmen with lower batting averages are more likely to give catches as they try for runs - and make sure you rest your bowlers from time to time so they can keep up a good line and length.
