I play cricket sometimes with my friend.
Cricket is the best sport ever !!!!
Cricket rulezzz!!!
I await this game
I am crazy about cricket. I play for my prepschool. I have been waiting for a game like this.
I could see cricket working really well on Wii. The Wiimote could be used for batting and bowling, obviously, and they could use a similar idea to the jogging on Wii Fit to simulate the running. Not sure about fielding though.
My vocabulary is as limited as my ability to concoct original usernames.
finally, cricket on the wii. ive been waitin for this since the wii came out. hope it's good
i cant wait for this game to be out me and my friend rebecca play cricket sometimes .. puh
I dont like cricket.....I LOVE IT!

I am 9 years old boy and crazy about the cricket and want to ask about the price of Ashes Cricket 2009 game for wii ?
I have ordered the Ashes Cricket 2009 for my Wii and can't wati to reach my door.
Wii will be the best consol to play cricket. Both batting and fielding.
Especially the bowling side.
If somebody can make a ball with sensor inside and strap on wrist, then we can do all the variety of bowling (spin, fast, medium) everything. That will be cool.
Even throwing to make run out, can be done flawlessly with the MotionPlus incorperate within a cricket ball.
Batting.. yeah.. what about making a MotionPlus Bat..
The possibilities are so many...
I'm sure this game will not be coming to NA.
The guy on the cover looks like Brack Obama.
Let me know when the US version would come. I am dying to buy the same.
>>>>Release Date:
>>>>To Be Announced (USA)
Team (Nintendo/ Codemasters) ,
when can you update above information..you kept us waiting for too long?
Very sure, many NA waiting for this moment.
If not sure about sales, pls conduct survey (poling) on this site to assessNA interest on this release.
Well if I buy the game from UK and use it in USA shall the game be playable on Wii?
I know there is a NTSC and PAL factor plays here. But is there any way to solve the issue ?
Why is this game always in the "Popular games" section, mostly number 1, when there is 19 comments. Not much people think its great yet its number 1. The "Popular games" section is fixed!
I just hope that this game is as good as the real deal cause its awsome to play in real life
HI CAN SOME ONE TELL ME IF THE CRICKET GAME WILL WORK IN THE USA BECAUSE I SEE THEY ONLY SELL IT IN THE UK
@14 Obama? Really? I don't see it. As for the game, I never really understood cricket, the reason being I live in the USA.
i think u can guess it by my nationality that i love the game
when is this game coming out in the USA?
really want it
and do the games from England work in the USA? Please tell me as soon as possible
(a) We have no idea if this game will ever come out in the US
(b) No, PAL-region games will not work in a NA-region Wii.
very nice game. I look up to you and your intellect! Keep up the good work!
