large variety of statistical graphs are available including run rate, wagon wheel graphs, as well as a huge amount of stats on every player that will track over the course of a tournament. The game revolves around a full TV style presentation including a full action replay mode, third umpire, animated ducks, TV style overlays, field position editor and much more. The field position editor will allow for auto or manual fielding.
Over 60 stadia have been modeled from all over the world, including England (Lords), Calcutta, Melbourne, Auckland, Cape Town, Barbados and Lahore. The detail in the stadia is amazing. Lighting and shadows of the highest grade coupled with real time weather all add to the authenticity of the playing experience.
Although this game is an improvement on Cricket 2002 I feel it could have been better, and hopefully in the coming years, it will be better. For the mean time, Cricket 2004 PC is a great distraction while you wait for the next test match to start, or while you wait for the action to come back due to rain. Don't expect too much from it, it is a pretty simple game really, but I think most cricket fans should enjoy it. From a low budget and small development house, I'd certainly call Cricket 2004 a pretty good effort. - Over 50 teams and over 1000 players
