### 4/5 — Excellent but needs a tune up

*2023-11-01, version 2.3*

Needs an update bad…even on easy it’s hard to get to international on quick play…the ball hits the top of the bat a lot and your caught out which is so annoying…also needs a practice mode…

### 4/5 — Good game but needs a slight adjustment

*2022-07-26, version 2.3*

Really good game I am addicted and it’s really fun but the only problem why I didn’t give it a five star was because when you defend the ball and it goes up it spins back on you and gets you out which is crazy and also in test match format the wicket zones are huge and the six and four zones are tiny but other from those problems I’ve really enjoyed it

### 2/5 — Horrible

*2022-04-23, version 2.3*

I hit a six and it just glitched through the wall and the player names are old you need people like Kane Williamson also the spinning bouncing are impossible to pick

### 4/5 — iPhone notch compatibility

*2019-12-07, version 2.3*

I have been playing this game for over 5 years and it was disappointing to see that there has not been any updates recently. What made me write the review is that this game is not compatible with the notch at all and I am unable to play this game with my new iPhone.

### 4/5 — Great game but

*2019-08-25, version 2.3*

Only thing wrong is that when you change the name of the players it doesn’t save reliably and you have to start over, otherwise really fun

### 4/5 — Update

*2019-06-28, version 2.3*

Great game, I would love it if you made a World Series Edition where can verse all the countries in a test match series to see if you can top the world

### 3/5 — Facing spin is stupidly rediculous

*2018-09-19, version 2.3*

Just needs an update now. No longer able to see stats on games centre. Also cannot see completed games or league tables.

### 4/5 — Average

*2018-01-02, version 2.3*

I love this game, one of my favourites. However when I change the players names, the change is not permanent and within a few days it’s back to being Crowe Wright Turner etc. Also player’s test odi and t20 stats reset after a while which is quite annoying. That is the only thing wrong with this game.

### 2/5 — For true cricket fans...

*2017-12-24, version 2.3*

They ruined it. The ability to play with a small back lifthas gone. The new update is sensational! Love playing with the classic teams:)



Still would love to see the game develop further-the scoring and wicket zones could change for the tailenders to make it harder for them to make runs. But greeeeeaaaat!!!

Update-Still playing, average 103 after hundreds of innings. Top score 615.

I wish there was a forum so we could actually play against each other. 

Love it still
:)

Just a quick update-average now stands at exactly 100
:)
Love this game!!!

It's a delight, maybe the best control method of any cricket game I've ever played. But I wish the developers could expand the game into a full cricket game(I would pay for this). As it is, it's very addictive with a brilliant learning curve. At first I couldn't hit the ball, but now I average 46. I wish for an online stats system, a bowling aspect, that sometimes the fielders dropped the ball etc. 
But it's still a top game:)

### 4/5 — Awaiting ios11 update

*2017-09-24, version 2.3*

Great little game rendered unusable by delayed update to support ios11. 

It would be good if you could change team names and customise the teams a bit more but otherwise the simplicity of the ui and challenge of gameplay makes this brilliant. There’s a bit of a glitch when you hit the ball directly between the 4 and 6 runs zone which results in no runs. Test match hitting zones could do with being slightly bigger. But overall this is best cricket game available! 

Seems to have gone into neglect of late though - summed up by the delayed response to ios11 meaning I can’t actually play it anymore. Please give this brill app the tlc it deserves!!!!

### 4/5 — Update.

*2017-05-15, version 2.2*

This game need an update, it's a fantastic game but will not work with future iOS unless it's updated. 
Developers when will a update be done? It's well overdue.

### 1/5 — Bugs doesn’t allow me to play online game

*2024-02-28, version 2.3*

There are no new updates to the game since ages. And when I try to play online game, it doesn’t allow me to create a new game. It doesn’t allow me to delete the games that are in my queue. It is so frustrating. Even a dollar is waste to invest on this game. Free apps are 1000 times better. Don’t purchase. And BAZ cannot win a game batting first. LOL

### 1/5 — Not what expecting

*2024-02-13, version 2.3*

I was expecting a much smoother experience not a slow clunky one. Need re-development of player movement

### 1/5 — Bugs doesn’t allow me to play online game

*2024-02-02*

### 1/5 — So many bugs

*2023-09-24*

So many bugs and very few players who play online

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2020-11-29, version 2.3*

I paid 99p on this I could’ve bought a cheese and onion pastie with that and felt more satisfied. Doesn’t let you edit controls, you need to use both thumbs to swing the ball absolute garbage.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2020-08-11, version 2.3*

Poor game

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2019-03-08, version 2.3*

Its impossible to even win sometimes it glitch’s and you can’t move don’t install.

### 1/5 — The edited names keep going back to default

*2018-08-12, version 2.3*

I’m not sure why and am hoping you can help but player names keep resetting back to default whenever I stop playing game for two or three hours e.g I change name from boycott to cook but it turns back to boycott...

### 1/5 — Complete Waste Of Money!

*2016-03-24, version 2.2*

The game is basically unplayable because basically every time you hit the bell you will be caught out and lose every time, complete waste of money don't buy

### 1/5 — U wasted my money I want it back

*2014-12-15, version 2.2*

This is the worst game in the world.   I want my money back.

### 5/5 — Great cricket game

*2026-01-04, version 2.3*

Really enjoyable, simple cricket game
Test series are brilliant, but can we have ODI and T20 series too please?

### 5/5 — Compelling

*2022-02-01, version 2.3*

This is such a great mechanic for a cricket game. Please keep updating it as I have noticed it looks a bit oddly stretched on more modern devices!

### 5/5 — Quality

*2020-09-22, version 2.3*

Easily the best cricket game on the App Store, is simple yet still a very difficult game that I have spent many hours playing.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-03-31, version 2.3*

Would rlly recommend downloading, great great game. The career aspect is so fun.

### 5/5 — This is a fun game

*2019-10-08, version 2.3*

This game is fun

Best cricket game on iOS hands down it’s so bare yet so fun to play

### 5/5 — Top

*2019-08-26, version 2.3*

Absolutely glass game

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2018-01-10, version 2.3*

Great game - have played on and off for many years. 

Just one inquiry - I don’t seem to be able to update the game to have the new features, for example I’d like to be able to enforce the follow on in online games, but am still unable. My device is ios11 compatible. 

Could this be fixed or is it just me?

P.S, why do I always bat first in online test matches?

### 5/5 — Thank you for iOS 11 update

*2017-09-24, version 2.3*

This is the perfect game for wasting a bit of time. Thank you for keeping it going!

### 5/5 — Thedoss96

*2017-07-21, version 2.2*

Absolutely loving the game had it for years and never get sick of it. Pls update it so it works with newer updates cause its my most played game.

### 5/5 — Good

*2016-05-30, version 2.2*

Very good game, would be good if a County edition was brought out so you could be teams such as Yorkshire, Lancashire etc.
