About this game

Allan Border's Cricket is a cricket simulation from Audiogenic Software, released in 1992 for Amiga, Commodore 64, C64/128/MAX, DOS, MS-DOS, and Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.

The game includes all international sides, editable player data, and the option to select your own team. Players can choose between Test matches and limited-overs matches, with one or two innings per team. Leg-before-wicket dismissals can also be disabled to make the rules easier to follow.

Gameplay

  • Three skill levels: Amateur, Professional, and World Class.
  • Bowling uses cursor positioning followed by control of speed or spin, depending on the bowler type.
  • Batting focuses on timing a selection of available shots.
  • Fielding is largely automated.
