test Cricket Manager Game
A cricket management game where you control the on, and off, decisions of a countries national cricket team.
Starting in 1868 (Year of the first Australian touring team to England, the Australian team was entirely comprised of Aboriginals for this tour) you will take your country on a year long journey to play each other test team once at home, and another time away.
While managing the team you will be responsible for
BEFORE THE GAME
- Player wages, contracts, hiring and firing.
- Training of your players. Which skills do you want them to improve?
- Staffing levels and their wages.
- Upkeep of the ground and the pitch. Have a lot of world class spinners? Make your pitch spin friendly.
DURING THE GAME
- Set the batting line up; change your batters aggression at any time. Declare at any time.
- Choose the on field tactics.
- Choose your bowlers, will you bowl them for a long spell or quick fiery bursts?
- Set your fielding aggression (are you going for a wicket or slow the scoring down?)
AFTER THE GAME
- Sit back and check out all the statistics of the game, and season so far.
- See where you are on the ladder. Do you need to win, or will a draw do, next game?
- Do you need to retire some old stars and look at your youth players?
YOU make the decisions, and YOU take the glory. But you also take the fall for failure.
