Slog is risky! too risky

As explained below, strong slog strikes are extremely risky and are not really favored by cricketers. The game proves this by taking you 20 points when bowled. So basically you can easily end up with some really big negative score.

Game is more taker than a giver

After playing few rounds, I can say that the problem with the game is that you score 1,4 or 6 points, but if you miss the ball (get bowled) tha game takes you 20! So, it's really really hard to achieve positive score, at least it was for me, at first. So to conclude, slog is risky, but in this game it's just too risky.

Cool animations

Regarding graphics, although being quite small, the game features some really cool animations. You'll see what I mean when you hit the six. And, of course, there are these two funny commentators in the top screen area, making remarks on every move you make, whether it's good or especially if it's bad one.

Why slog in title? What does slog mean in cricket?

A slog is a type of hit when the batsman puts pure strength before technique doing very risky move and hitting the ball as hard as possible, probably in an attempt to hit six or maybe 4. According to wikipedia and cricket terminology sources, this hit is usually preformed when the team is desperate for runs and is usually not favored. It is risky because the batsman can easily miss the ball and therefore get bowled or lbw'd.

Let's play World Cricket Slog Master (YoutTube video)

I've managed to score 0 in each and every round. Scoring is just unfair. If you hit the ball, you get 1,4 or 6 at max, but if you miss, i.e. get bowled, the game takes you off 20 points! So you can easily end up with nothing at the end. It's too darn hard.
