Timothy's Allan Border's Cricket Page

Howzat!!!??? Sorry, out..........to get Allan Border's Cricket!!

Hello and welcome to my Allan Border's Cricket homepage. Allan Border's Cricket was one of the first cricket releases to come out, after the popular Graham Gooch's Cricket. It has been designed by Audiogenic Software Ltd in the U.K in 1993. It was designed for older systems such as the 286 and higher. Copies were also made for the Amiga and the Commodore 64. They also later made Brian Lara's Cricket and Shane Warne's Cricket for the PC and SEGA Mega Drive.

Here are some features in Allan Border's Cricket:

• Features all the Sheffield Shield Sides (Australia) with authentic batting and bowling averages, plus Australia, New Zealand, West Indies and England teams - you can also enter your own teams and save them to disk.
• Play against a friend or a highly intelligent computer opponent; compete at Amature, Professional, or a World Class level; you can even watch two computer sides play each other.
• Allows you to control the bowlers, the batsman and the field placings.
• Incredibly realistic animation; many spectacular batting strokes including: the sweep, hook, cover drive and square cut.
• Play test matches, or one day games; play matches of any length from one day through to five days.
• Spin, swing and fast bowlers; vary the speed, and the amount of spin or swing.
• Batsman and bowlers can be left or right-handed; bowlers can bowl over or around the wicket.
• Choose from the pre-set field placings or create your own; fielders automatically change over to a left-handed batsman, or a new bowler.
• Fantastic graphic detail including player shadows, and occasional showers of rain; spectacular run-outs.
• Save the game to disk at the end of any over, or at the end of an innings.

That was all from the back of the box of Allan Border's Cricket and having the full version 1.8 I can say that all of the above is true. But the graphics arn't as spectacular as Cricket 97 but they are still pretty good.
