Toys : Super Cricket Action Game
Rating: 
- A few annoyances but not bad
Let's start with the bad - the stumps keep falling over and I too will have to find a way to prevent that happening. All games of this type have the same problem with achieving a flat smooth playing surface - without mounting it on hardboard (great for storage!). A warm iron on a damp cloth might do the job here. Scale is a bit of an issue too as the boundaries just keep on coming as the smallest nick will go for four but - to be fair to the designers - I cannot see how that could be easily overcome unless they triple the size of the playing surface. The good - players seem robust and well put together and the adjustable bowling action is a nice touch even if the batting is a bit one dimensional.
Overall - not bad if it's raining or dark and you can't get oustide for the real thing. And always better than a playstation alternative imo.

- Super Cricket Game
An absolutely fantastic game you're guaranteed to be addicted within minutes even before you've opened the box. The only really trouble with this game is I haven't yet let my son have a go!
The players are made of plastic but do seem to be quite tough the stumps are quite hard to keep standing up so the smallest movement knocks them over, I got round this problem with a little bit of tape at the bottom. The pitch would be better if it was mounted on a board as it does tend to crease in the wrong places if stored. I have a computer cricket game but this is so much better, you do however have to play with more than one person. You can keep the score as if it is a real game. I would recommend it from any child above six to 106 or maybe more!!
Rating: - Great family game
My husband had the original version of this as a child and we bought ours some ten years ago. I has been well played with ever since until finally the bowlers arm gave out. Despite mending him with a screw he only played for another two seasons and we will be buying this latest version this year to replace ours.
It has been much enjoyed by adults and children alike and was a great hit at boys birthday parties.
