Cricket Defend The Wicket - Batting Flash Game

Hit the wall with the ball! - The concept of having a single player who practices cricket batting alone in the filed is quite an old one. There is this FOG's game World Cup Practice with basically identical gameplay but I can't tell for sure which one came out first, Defend The Wicket or World Cup Practice since they both are pretty much old. Anyway, the game is about trying to prevent ball from hitting the wicket or not letting the ball hits the area outside the wall on your right. The wall is divided into 4 smaller segments where each one if hit brings different amount of points. For example if you hit the bottom of the wall you will get 1 point which corresponds to a 1 run. The same way you can score a lot more: 2, 4 or 6 runs or be given out.

Now let's mention the upsides and downsides of the game. First the downsides. I didn't like how the mouse moves. I mean it's too light and it's hard to keep bat in control. The player acts as a rag-doll and sometimes it's really hard to hit the ball.

The good and the bad about Cricket Defend The Wicket

Scoring logic, I mean the maths being done to calculate the total score is not quite clear. Adding up the runs is fine, but I am not sure what's the idea of multiplying that value with the 'S/Rate', whatever that is, to get the finish score. That's just unnecessarily complicated. Sounds are pretty bad like they're coming out from some ancient 8-bit computer.

And now the good part. First off, the game premise is simple, which is good if we except an addictive games, and the graphics are decent for the purpose, but that' pretty much all. I hope you'll enjoy it and if you do, please leave down your comments.
