Brian Lara International Cricket 2007

This installment of the Brian Lara/Ricky Ponting Cricket series includes all of the 2007 Cricket World Cup teams and venues, the Champions Trophy one-day event, fast-paced Twenty20 matches, and full-length 5-day Test matches. Outside of those tournaments, the names of the players are made up. There are additional bowling styles, such as increasing the reverse swing as the ball ages. Fielding includes reflex catches from slips, extra run-outs, and stumpings. Realistic modeling of shots off the bat’s edges and a graceful sweep shot are now included in batting. The computer AI plays a more aggressive arcade-style game. Offline or online tournaments (on PC and Xbox 360, a first for a cricket game) with up to 16 players are available. Players can build their dream team of the world’s best cricketers, or try one of the new tutorials to learn the game. A roving team of five commentators covers the various matches.
