Well, it’s official, I’ve found the most addictive Flash Animation game on the Net. It’s called Stick Cricket and is possibly the best cricket game I’ve ever played. Which doesn’t say much for all those EA Sports Cricket games on the PC and Playstation.

You can find it at: http://www.stickcricket.com.au

It’s completely unrealistic, and I’m not very good at it, but hey it’s so much fun belting the crap out of that little cricket ball. Sometimes, when I’m lonely, I commentate the action. “So Akram comes into bowl, it’s short and Hayden rocks back and slaps it to the midwicket boundary for SIX!!!! Oh my, that ball has gone fifteen rows back and the little animated crowd is filled with rapturous joy.”

Yeah, I’ve always imagined being a great cricket player. But then, who hasn’t?

So off you go… check out stick cricket. It helps a little if you know the sport, but even if you don’t or even if you detest cricket, or even if you don’t recognise any of the names, I swear it’s totally cathartic whacking those balls for SIX!!!!
