With the game following the World Cup schedule, all participating countries being present and player names in original, it's the closest you can come to reality.
Choose the team you support and rise to the top by playing through all the stages.

Specifications
The installation is a little trouble as it requires a lot of specifications to be fulfilled by the system. Once installed, it is very easy to operate. There are various options of game play such as “world cup” and “exhibition match”. You can practice your skills on "net practice” and improve your overall performance.
The controls are a little irritating, but once you get used to them it will be a cake walk.
The commentary could have been better, ranging from loud to irritating at different points. This is one of the best cricket games to have come up. If you liked the Brian Lara game and the Ashes 2009 game, you are bound to love this new one too.
This game has covered all the major areas required for a great gaming experience.
