Cricket Captain

Cricket Captain is a video game in the strategy genre developed by The Majestic 12 and published by D&H Games originally released in 1991. It is currently playable on Commodore 64.

This version of Cricket Captain lacks the ability to play the matches offered by the others. Instead, the C64 displays a scoreboard, while on the Spectrum the entire screen is used for a top-down view of the field, with lines illustrating where each shot has been played, and flash announcements of dismissals. Only balls from which a player is ejected or a run scored are shown.

No scouts, coaches or physios are hired, you simply have a standard one at all times. CPU vs. CPU matches produce a simple score instead of a full scoreboard. Minor counties do not appear; cup tournaments start from the round of 16 stage.

Some other changes have been made. Player skills on each pitch are now rated out of 10 instead of 100, but a player's bowling style and preferred bowling style for batting are now displayed. The scout now brings up information about players in a team, and then gives you the opportunity to buy one of them, instead of looking for players of a particular skill.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
