Cricket has always been a game which includes a large dose of strategy. Knowing exactly where to put your men - for that matter, knowing just what "silly mid off" is - are just as important as remembering to put your re-inforced box in when the Indian fast bowlers are on the pitch. Now D&H Games, the self-styled "Masters of Strategy" have turned their attention to the Sunday afternoon sport and the result is Cricket Captain.

Every aspect of the game's progress can be edited: you can vary the ages, skills and experience of players before you watch them in action. Players can be hired and fired or trained, and your scout can find you fresh young talent. The arcade sequence is well programmed to enable you to get into the spirit of the game. The whole package is well designed and is sure to appeal to cricket connoisseurs who can't wait for the summer.
