Advantages: classic match option and easiness of learning the controls

Disadvantages: not being able to generate any part of the innings

Ever wanted to know what it was like playing international cricket? then get some coaching and maybe one day you will.
Otherwise you could get this game, with its intuitve controls, despite not having the option of playing shots off either the front or back foot(they are automatically selected by the computer), it still has the simplicity within the game to make it fun and lasting. Also despite having to play all of the innings both when batting and bowling, this can be a problem if you are bowling against a strong side, as innings, while still quite exciting as you never know when that wicket is going to fall, can be quite drawn out and take a long time to play. However with the length of the innings sometimes being drawn out, you an get very involved with the game and will soon be jumping around pleading with the umpire to give that lbw decision.
A fun game with more arcade like gameplay but still keeping the basic cricket game at its heart. With great features mainly the inclusion of the hawkeye system, which is used for lbw decisions and at the end of overs it is both helpful and fun.

Summary: Very enjoyable game and (in a very entertaining way) easy to get involved with
