Don Bradman Cricket in the Press

[Chief]

Chief is currently holder of the post of the year award

It was a narrow winner from "Didn't quite carry" on. Or "Carrom On".

Some easy Sid James chuckles about Hattie Jacques: "She's just come in from Cow Corner". Etc.

Another review: Review: Don Bradman Cricket | Stevivor

I agree about how much more difficult slips and c&bs are compared to outfield catches. The not out to clear edge (unless you appeal) is meant to be a feature not a bug though

Pretty decent review.

Pretty decent review.

I didn't really get their "lack of licensing" complaints: at the touch of a button you can snag all of it for free? Seeing as a review is customer-facing, you'd have thought they would have seen this: it's only the IP holder that is getting bitten by this and I wouldn't have thought it would mattered in a review?

They did mention updating the latest squads/players at the press of a button and said Konami can learn from Big Ant how to circumvent licensing issues. I think they were not happy with the visuals or how the players looked. Maybe they downloaded poorly created teams.

They did *eventually*. But there was a whole paragraph early on about how the likenesses were poor and no licensing, which set a really negative mood. Later on they said how it was all fixed at the touch of a button.

I'm very dubious as to whether Konami would get away with the same trick: I'm sure that EA would unleash all four horseman of the licensing apocalypse on them if they tried the same thing.

Konami wouldn't as football is a high profile sport with loads of money riding on licensing unlike cricket. I'm sure if Konami tries a similar mechanism, EA would go after them and force them to shut down the "shared players" server.

WARNING THIS IS MISLEADING.

They haven't added tumbleweeds or any weed into the game. I apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused.

I was gonna do this gag where I linked you to a current player with the last name Weed .....turns out, nobody named "Weed" has played the game. We have Sidebottom's, Cock's and Ball's. No Weed's. Amazing.

We might have all of those but rugby will forever have the name... Sexton.

Nice mention here, although weird that it doesn't actually appear in the list.
