World Cricket 2011 Overview
World Cricket 2011 was one of those straightforward cricket games you'd find during the Flash era. It arrived around the time of the real tournament, letting you jump into a simplified version of the sport from your browser. The presentation was basic, but it captured the essential idea of a cricket match without much fuss.
You control the batting side or the bowling side, depending on the toss. When batting, you watch the bowler's run-up and try to time your shot. The controls often involved pressing number keys for different strokes, like a defensive push or a lofted drive. Your main goal is to score runs and avoid losing wickets. Bowling requires you to aim and set a length, usually by pressing a key to start and stop a meter. The game moves at a quick pace, and the difficulty can spike, especially when facing faster deliveries. It feels like a concentrated dose of cricket, where a mistimed shot sends the ball straight to a fielder.
