Brian Lara Cricket

Developer: Unknown

Brian Lara Cricket on the Sega Mega Drive puts arcade-friendly cricket on the Genesis with simple batting and bowling controls, two-player matches and tournament play. Timing, placement and quick fielding decisions are rewarded as you chase centuries or defend tight totals. Pixelated stadiums, shouts from the crowd and an emphasis on pick-up-and-play fun capture retro console cricket excitement. Matches swing between tactical patience and frantic run-chases; local multiplayer ramps up the rivalry while single-player modes test batting technique and bowling accuracy. A nostalgic, accessible sports title that values moments of skill over simulation depth.
