### 5/5 — Loved it but...

*2021-05-21*

After playing one specific game for 8months in 2069 it crashed and I lost all of my save. I was devastated. I still play the game (AND LOVE IT) but just wished they improved the spin bowling and more shots added! But overall one of the best games ever ( so addictive).

### 3/5 — Afghanistan ?

*2021-01-13*

Has anyone noticed it’s very hard to beat Afghanistan in the World Cup with Australia. I think this of a glitch because I have lost 8 out of 9 opening matches when playing Afghanistan.

### 5/5 — Just by the look of it

*2020-12-19*

I haven’t even played the game yet but it looks so cool and fun

### 4/5 — Problems with Test Championship

*2020-08-08*

Was playing the international career mode, doesn’t let you play the test championship final after the year 2025, also, the test championship doesn’t have 6 series, sometimes I end up playing 7, sometimes 5, 

Finally, this issue has been coming up in all previous editions, whenever I get an opposition all out on the last ball of a limited overs format, the game reduces an over from the scoreboard and all the stats get skewed

**Developer response:** Hi, the Test Match Championship issues have been fixed in the patch we've just released (v1.3)

### 4/5 — Great game but needs improvements

*2020-07-08*

I love this game so much but I think there needs to be another version of the game where you don’t have to pay. Keep up the good work though!😀👍🏻

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2020-07-07*

In general it’s still a great game, however it infuriates me how the computer seems to so often start playing like a genius when there’s a target to chase. If the target is even remotely gettable, all pitch conditions and your bowler skills go out the window and the opposition batsmen just start smashing it everywhere. Happens far too often. A team chasing 350 in the 4th innings should be a once in 100 occurrence, not happen every second match.

### 4/5 — Jk

*2020-06-22*

Please try creating a tournament for online play may a tournament where people pick players like ipl and then play with them. Not sure if it’s possible but just a suggestion

### 4/5 — Great game but can always improve

*2020-06-04*

I really enjoy this game but as a bit of feedback the test championship doesn’t seem to work as intended past the first season I.e I’m playing as Ireland and ranking 6th but can’t play in the test championship. Would be great if that is fixed

### 4/5 — Good but need to fix spin bowlers

*2020-05-30*

Very much enjoy the game however you need to sort out spin bowling. Too often are average spinners getting 5-6 wickets before lunch on the first day and consistently 10 in the match, even when the pitch is supposedly not spinning. I wouldn’t necessarily have a problem with this but it’s not consistent for me, in the same match where my batters have been reduced to looking like schoolboys by an average spinners my spinner will often go 30 odd overs with no wickets at over 4 an over. This is not how cricket works, if the pitch is going to be a minefield for spinners on one team it should behave the same for spinners on the other. Also don’t get me started on the shots my batters play when they’re set quite defensive when I’m trying to see out a match. As I said the game is enjoyable but these issues among others often make the game unplayable at times for me.

### 5/5 — LOVE IT

*2020-05-29*

Hi there, I love your game so much and I the only thing I don’t like about it is how you can play free for a couple of matches can you please make a lite version so we can play for free 
And a trick tip for anyone if it says your time has run out and you don’t want to pay then you can delete the app and download it again because that’s what I did
Thanks
