Press reviews: “The game has become more similar to its football management counterpart in that users tend to play a career, rather than just one tournament or competition. This is aided by the ability to switch teams both domestically and internationally so users can be offered jobs and challenge themselves in different environments.” TheCricketer “Every edition of Cricket Captain comes with updates to the match engine, but this year may be the most noticeable upgrade for some time, with outcomes now more realistic when batsmen are at high aggression. Whereas in previous years there have often been catches (or at least chances) at short leg in the dying overs of limited overs innings, this year those catches are now far more likely to be taken in the deep as you’d expect.” Wisden
