This was so fun to watch as a cricket fan. The game looks crap and I remember the only cricket I owned was on the PS2 and I think EA made it and I think I liked that game. Stick Cricket is a fun little game if you want to learn more about the game.
Nearly a decade later, I still come back to this video to relive the hilarity. "Do you know what type of bowler you are, fast bowler? Spin bowler?" "I'm uhh... auto-aggressive apparently" hahhahaah
Until about half an hour in, the people in the field almost never get the ball. The one on the outside barely even has to move except for celebration. Then, suddenly one just runs off like mad and Jeff is all "GOOOO!"... lmao
@@girijathesaviour9290 And look who's here to respond to the response of his 7 year old comment. Barely remember this QL, but I sure must have thought it was funny...
Just an FYI guys. "Dance down the wicket" does in fact mean the batter takes a few steps forward and hits the ball which allows for easier contact on the ball (this tactic essentially changes the distance bw the batter and the area the ball pitches in). The score is on your top left, 2/17 (read "two for seventeen") means 2 batters are out, and the team score is 17 (runs/points), sometimes this is inverted based on the country the match is being played in. You do NOT have to bounce the ball as a bowler but it makes it A LOT easier for the batter to hit the ball if you don't bounce it. A No Ball is when the bowler steps past the line he is not allowed, which results in a free hit and en extra penalty run for the batting side. In the game, this is indicated by not stopping the bowling power meter in time. No penalties for hitting a batsman after bouncing a ball on the pitch. In fact, in many situations, it is used as an intimidation tactic by fast bowlers. And the reaction time is always very little against fast bowlers, in that regard, the timing aspect of this game is pretty realistic. Very funny video though. "ARM BALL!!" hahaha
This was hilarious and that's from someone who knows about cricket. Beside the fact that this game did a poor representation of the sport, I feel cricket is way too complicated to put in video game format
Fantastic, so funny hearing a guy who doesn't really understand cricket explaining the game to two guys who can never understand the game.the game was almost incidental Thanks for the putting this on.
As an English man I have to say the main problem with cricket is that it's only interesting at the end of the day/ series when the two scores get close, or England are smashing Australia not like the other day.
Ireland represent! We're not THAT bad at cricket. Qualified for the 20 Over World Cup this week. Man, this game looks terrible (and was like 6 months delayed)
So. I worked a graveyard and stayed up for a solid 26 hours, got some rest after eating thanksgiivng food, woke up, and watched this. Now I feel like I'm having a hilarious fever dream.
L1ama man id still like to see you face 150kph bouncers from Mitchell Johnson, and that moustache comes from an Australian cricket legend in the name of Dennis Lillee, who is mitchs guiding hand. so I dare you to dis Australian cricket again and you will have the whole nation of cricket lovers in Australia against you, and you don't want that!
I literally could not give less of a shit about what the australian cricket public thinks of me. Dude's still a wanker with a bad moustache, and I guess whoever he got it from had a bad moustache too.
L1ama well man you either must be a pommie or an indian cause they are both the types of people who don't give a shit. Considering Australia has just won the ashes in an emphatic style, with the help of some "wanker" with a "bad moustache" who is still raising money for Movember (mens cancer) and who is embarrassing England with hardly any help is a "wanker" to you??? dude you must have some serious issues!
If you're american and you're watching try and find some highlights of the most recent ashes test in Brisbane, you will love it! Only the highlights though shah
I've been waiting for this! I'm from England so I know my cricket, but you don't even have to have the first clue about cricket to realise this is a pre-alpha piece of garbage!
the last half decent cricket game trickstar had their hand in was International Cricket 2010, even it was pretty average but Ashes 2013 just looks comical lol.
with some videos topping out at just over 2 hours, i'd hardly call it a "quick look" but i love these vids and the sarcasm is priceless keep up the good work guys and i'll keep coming back for more
You have all those countries, then the fictional teams which are supposed to be like the menacing sounding cool names...and then you have goddamn Exeter?!
a no ball i real cricket is when u hit the stump when running with the ball as the bowler or if u over step the bowling on the game dont let the think go red
Am I meant to imagine half of the game. Wheres all the animations and why does the ball disappear. Its like the game is works like a bloody rpg with only the important moments being shown and all the rest left to the crap looking sprites.
PS - the American guys asked, and for people on here who don't know, a cricket match can last three days. There are pauses for rain and cucumber sandwiches.
This was hilarious: two Americans trying to make sense of the bizarre ritual of cricket using only an Irishman and a really bad game. Comedy gold.
one of them was irish you tard
Mikey Wilson Reading is hard huh
Danny: An LBW is Legs Before Wicket!
Vinny: Is that like Bros Before Hoes?
LMAO, that had me in stitches
+Rey Mysterio "An excellent observation!"
Two Americans and an Irishman try to understand broken sports game about a game none of them understand. Brilliant
Weee
God, I love Danny O Dwyer. Random Encounter is one of the few things still worth watching on gamespot...
I feel like I know less about cricket now than I did before.

Only Giantbomb can let you watch the whole video on a bad game while being entertaining.
This is my favorite quick look of all time
+Cameron Tkachuk mine is the Wipeout: The Game QL. I think that one's hilarious.
Until about half an hour in, the people in the field almost never get the ball. The one on the outside barely even has to move except for celebration. Then, suddenly one just runs off like mad and Jeff is all "GOOOO!"... lmao
I know it's a 7 year old comment but that made me laugh like a madman late at night.

No idea how Cricket is played, yet I couldn't stop watching. Hillarious banter!
I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at a quick look.
this is still funny as it was when it first came out XD
This was hilarious and that's from someone who knows about cricket. Beside the fact that this game did a poor representation of the sport, I feel cricket is way too complicated to put in video game format
So obviously Giant Bomb will be doing some expert Rugby game coverage next right?
As someone who's never seen rugby I'd love that. It just seems like a grittier version of the so called football.
just hearing Bumble almost made me want to get it.
Bumble makes everything better.
Bumble is the best commentator on Sky
How to know when a quick look will be funny as hell,
1. Game title ends with year 20** or
2. It's a sports game.
In this case it was both.
That was surprisingly entertaining.
Danny and GiantBomb? YEEEEAHH
Oh boy, Ashes Cricket 2013 has the Giant Bomb Sports Crew TIED IN KNOTS, GIANT BOMB IS AT IT AGAIN.
Fantastic, so funny hearing a guy who doesn't really understand cricket explaining the game to two guys who can never understand the game.the game was almost incidental Thanks for the putting this on.
Bad Game Combined with a Confusing Sport is like that episode of Futurama where they go to a Baseball Game.
As an English man I have to say the main problem with cricket is that it's only interesting at the end of the day/ series when the two scores get close, or England are smashing Australia not like the other day.
im gona try leg break - other guy yeah break his leg! LOL!
"Why is that one guy like the only guy playing cricket?"
Whenever they show the ref on the black background it always reminds me of when you finish a mission in saint's row 4.
As a Canadian who's been a passionate Cricket fan for years this made me lol so hardXD
Ireland represent! We're not THAT bad at cricket. Qualified for the 20 Over World Cup this week. Man, this game looks terrible (and was like 6 months delayed)
Been waiting for a Danny O'Dwyer Giantbomb together awesome something for ages :)
So. I worked a graveyard and stayed up for a solid 26 hours, got some rest after eating thanksgiivng food, woke up, and watched this. Now I feel like I'm having a hilarious fever dream.
Play don bradman cricket when it is released.
"Do they have to look bored? Is that part of the game?"
"Yeah, it's to sike the other team out."
Oh man...I can't stop laughing!
Bloody hell, is cricket. Timey Blimey!!!
I feel like the batsman getting tied in knots was on the verge of becoming the new "rider meet horse, horse meet rider".
This made my Wednesday, funny as shit.
This made Cricket fun actually. lol
it was canceled btw. After release cancel.
The trick is to get your eye... play a defensive game for the first 100 balls... and then you can start launching!!
I'm still not sure what I just watched but it was hilarious!
It's honestly shocking that there aren't more broken ass sports games like this. Always seemed like a nightmare to work on.
Calvinball?
The President No not quite but I get the reference
'kind of dickish' does really explain the australian cricket team
"kind of dickish" eh???? id like to see you go and bat against Mitchell Johnson's 150kph thunderbolts!!!
Bowling fast doesn't make him any less of a dickhead, especially with that tragic moustache
L1ama man id still like to see you face 150kph bouncers from Mitchell Johnson, and that moustache comes from an Australian cricket legend in the name of Dennis Lillee, who is mitchs guiding hand. so I dare you to dis Australian cricket again and you will have the whole nation of cricket lovers in Australia against you, and you don't want that!
I literally could not give less of a shit about what the australian cricket public thinks of me. Dude's still a wanker with a bad moustache, and I guess whoever he got it from had a bad moustache too.

Considering Australia has just won the ashes in an emphatic style, with the help of some "wanker" with a "bad moustache" who is still raising money for Movember (mens cancer) and who is embarrassing England with hardly any help is a "wanker" to you??? dude you must have some serious issues!
Wooow...I never would've said that it was Jeff and Vinny with Danny on this one. I rememebered it was 2 other guys...
U guys playing cricket, priceless. U make good commentators too.
My money is on South Africa
I think it's even funnier for me because I don't know anything about this sport, I see just madness happening on the screen.
If you're american and you're watching try and find some highlights of the most recent ashes test in Brisbane, you will love it! Only the highlights though shah
Is this first QL for game that was released and then canceled.
Goodness knows, the wicket's life is lonely. Goodness knows, the wicket dies alone.
lol how do they never comment on that bizarre animation of the cricketer humping the ground with his bat?
When boycott is speaking "is he still speaking english" Awesome video!
Looks like they've just re-packaged Cricket '97
It's okay, all this is KS. Let's ship it!
Its has begone one year from now Danny will probably work for giant bomb.
"What's a pikey?" indeed.
I've been waiting for this! I'm from England so I know my cricket, but you don't even have to have the first clue about cricket to realise this is a pre-alpha piece of garbage!
A ball at head height is known as a "beamer", by the way!
How the hell do you make a one hour video of this game?
the last half decent cricket game trickstar had their hand in was International Cricket 2010, even it was pretty average but Ashes 2013 just looks comical lol.
Is it bad that I enjoyed this a lot.
with some videos topping out at just over 2 hours, i'd hardly call it a "quick look" but i love these vids and the sarcasm is priceless keep up the good work guys and i'll keep coming back for more
So is televised cricket actually more boring than golf? Or vice versa?
About like baseball.
It is ironic that the guys get an irishman to explain cricket!
I'm a WIZARD, and this game looks TERRIBLE!
This is amazing
Erm.....i think i will stick with Team fortress 2.
Now this IS a surprise :P
It's hard to believe human beings worked on this game.
You have all those countries, then the fictional teams which are supposed to be like the menacing sounding cool names...and then you have goddamn Exeter?!
The off cutter? I didn't know Lorena Bobbitt played cricket.
Is it posh
He really had the batsman tied in knots on that one
What did they do to Bumble to make him commentate for this? Poor guy
Nice Wildcats reference @ 0:06:17
Man, this entire QL feels like a bad dream, with nobody knowing what's going on, least of all me.
1 nb mean 1 no ball 1 wb mean 1 wide ball also ireland getting real good at cricket
Why did I watch this whole thing?
What the hell?!
The graphics in this are absolutely horrible. Thank god it was pulled.
20 minutes in: "I think it has to bounce before it hits the crease"
These guys are sharp
this was the funniest shit i've ever seen
My only knowledge of Cricket is from Hitchhiker's... I like Adam's version better.
This is hilarious!!!!
I say old chap, that's just not cricket.
Greatest game ever
0:29:30 Why is that guy just standing around wiggling his upper body? xD
well shit i was trying to find videos with giant explosions i am very confused
So search "giant explosion" then.
a no ball i real cricket is when u hit the stump when running with the ball as the bowler or if u over step the bowling on the game dont let the think go red
I think I'm the only person I like this game
I like this game
gaint bomb plse try big ant cricket game don bradmon cricket when it come out
Oh my goodness. This game looks hilariously awful.
55:25 OMG LOL
i play cricket and this was just so funny
Am I meant to imagine half of the game. Wheres all the animations and why does the ball disappear. Its like the game is works like a bloody rpg with only the important moments being shown and all the rest left to the crap looking sprites.
everything was happened only comedy ,but really game is good☺
they seriously haven't improved cricket games in a long long time... this is a mess
I don't know how, but they've made this game worse than the 2009 version.
PS - the American guys asked, and for people on here who don't know, a cricket match can last three days. There are pauses for rain and cucumber sandwiches.
Big ant's "Don Bradman Cricket 14" looks promising, this one is crap
wow this game is really really really bad
