Marcus Trescothick’s Cricket Coach - behold its textual majesty
Marcus Trescothick’s Cricket Coach has been released for the PC. In honour of this, we've decided to make today Cricket Game Day. A couple more posts will be appearing later on about other cricket games. We've already written about our EA Cricket 2005 saga in the past. You can read about it here.Marcus Trescothick's Cricket Coach looks particularly impressive. This is the kind of game that we like. Look at its textual majesty. No pictures or animation or any of that rubbish here. Just statistics. Reams and reams of stultifying statistics. Cricket fans are crying out for this kind of thing. Hopefully in addition to all of the usual batting averages and stuff, the players' abilities will also be represented in numerical form. We reckon Matthew Hoggard's conventional swing rating would be about 92. Monty Panesar's catching rating would be about 1.
The second great thing about Marcus Trescothick's Cricket Coach is that it's only a tenner. It's always the sign of a well-developed product that its initial RRP is a quarter of that of a normal game.
We can't wait to forsake our real life, preferring instead the world of cricket represented by numbers. Maybe they'll make a special edition binary code version.

Could I recommend Battrick, on www.battrick.org?
Yes? Please? Oh go on...
In short, it's a free online cricket management game with completely made-up players. You train your team, you play matches, you rejoice/get all depressed accordingly. You even get Cricinfo-style real-time ball-by-ball coverage while your matches are being played out.
It's still relatively new, but has something over 5000 players scattered across the cricket-playing world. And it was created by a Scot!
We're currently working our notice following redundancy with full access to the internet.
We're not doing you a favour. You're doing us a favour.
To Battrick!
