The briefing
Ian Botham's Cricket is a cricket game based on one-day cricket rules as interpreted by its developers. Matches feature two teams of eleven players competing to score more runs on a grass oval with a central cricket pitch.
Players can choose to focus on batting or bowling and control team members during play, including the fielder nearest to the ball. Successful play depends on managing power, direction, and timing. Batters can defend their wicket, run between the wickets, and score from boundary hits.
Eight countries are available: England, New Zealand, Australia, Sri Lanka, South Africa, India, West Indies, and Pakistan. Players can be assigned to humans or the CPU, which offers three difficulty levels.
