Review #6804 Brian Lara Cricket MD PAL 1994 Codemasters Sports Sports › Cricket H 37 / 100 Horrible Screenshot used for review/reference purposes. 2 / 5 Gameplay Does an inning ever end?

They score EVERY SINGLE time!! Natually, when hitting I get out more often than not. And this was on Easy. Not fun at all. 2 / 5 Level Design There's a few different modes, including a fast match (for those of us who want to jump in), a one-day match, and a world series. It also has three difficulty levels. 2 / 5 Theme The m...
