This adds a bit of management to the game and will please anyone who s always winging about their national team. Richie provides commentary throughout the game. It s very good. I think it works particularly well because cricket is a slow game. In a football game it s very hard for computer commentators to keep up with the action.
Cricket allows much more realistic commentary.
Of course there s the old problem of repetition, but the only way to avoid that would have been to bundle Richie himself with the game. The other sound effects are pretty uninspiring. The crowd is boring, verging on the ridiculously repetitive. The umpire responds with a grumpy, not out. It s a bit of a laugh.
