International Cricket Captain III-FLT
This release shows how slow the scene is at the moment. At least the gaming scene, we have one the best groups around releasing a cricket ‘managing’ title! Oh dear…. Anyway FAiRLiGHT pre’d this game about 30 minutes ago and i’m defiantly not downloading this because even the promo shots from the publisher make the game look like bad ( what the fuck is the wobbly picture thing about?!), plus cricket isn’t really my thing. Not to state the obvious but this is only for the die hard cricket fanatic’s and even then this is a “managing” title so no cricket playing just thinking up strategies and watching but again some people enjoy doing that. I bet you if you do download this though your either from the UK, West Indies, India, Pakistan or Australia as those are the main cricket playing country’s. Average gamers wont find anything enjoyable here and will waste the 230 MB it takes to download this sucka… Some decent game releases should be coming soon to cater for the more mainstream market as I’m running dangerously low on my guideline daily allowance of gaming due to there being no games that interest me atm. Crysis cant come fast enough for me but if this your bag download and enjoy!

Everything that you could affect as a captain; from team selection, coaching, nurturing young talent and making the vital decisions in the match can make the difference between a great winning team and a poor season. Take charge of a domestic or international team and steer them to victory through every match of the season. You control all aspects of the team’s progress; from transfers, team selection and training, to detailed match tactics. Choose your bowlers, plan their line of attack, set their fields and then watch the highlights to see if you get that vital breakthrough.

so many games for such a boring sport lately…
Wow…
First pro cycling, and now cricket. How are my pants still dry?
What’s next, a fishing or building sandcastles game?
I was going to make a half-witted comment about developers themselves comprising the vast majority of the game’s fanbase… but I was smart enough to make a quick trip to Wikipedia:
“Cricket is the second most popular sport in the world.[1][2][3] More than a hundred cricket-playing nations are recognised by the International Cricket Council.[4] In the countries of South Asia, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, cricket is the most popular sport. It is also a major sport in England and Wales, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe and the English-speaking countries of the Caribbean, which are collectively known in cricketing parlance as the West Indies. There are also well-established amateur club competitions in countries as diverse as the Netherlands, Kenya, Nepal and Argentina, among others.”
I’ve never personally seen anyone playing the game back in Europe, and I sure as hell don’t see many people playing it here in New York. Imagine my surprise.
By the way, what is it with the constant criticism of baseball then? If the whole world plays cricket (which is a game in many ways similar to baseball, at least from an outsider’s perspective), why all the trolling? Seems a bit hypocritical, if you ask me.
Dry The Paint Manager coming next, followed by Watch Cactuses Grow Manager.
i’d pick train simulator over this
I’d pick my NOSE over this
I’d pick your mom over this.
Sadly, I would also pick your nose over this. The only thing that is worse than low budget sports games is… nope, that’s about as worst as it gets.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz @ this game and the sport in real life aswell
there havent been any decent games released lately but thats always at this time of the year…games like Crysis, Medal of Honor 4, Timeshift can’t come a day 2 soon….fuck this cricket shittage :/
Sporting Cancer.
Shiny please at least you stop being a jerk. That’s one thing you are waiting for dumbass idiotic shooter games like Crysis. But meanwhile try to be at least a bit friendly to people who may have a peep at cricket shittages like this, or any other game in which you can’t play, just “manage”.
A lot of fucktards on here that don’t know shit about anything, including the retarded ‘Shiny’! Whining that a MANAGEMENT game doesn’t have fancy graphics or doesn’t let you PLAY is totally retarded! That’s why it’s a MANAGEMENT game idiot! FFS What about the Football Manager series then? They are just a basic database, and also don’t let you play football, yet are popular as hell? I suppose ‘Shiny’ is one of those players that have led to the death of the computer games industry, where flashy graphics have killed innovation, story, and gameplay; replacing it with the same alien or Nazi killing games, or generic RTS, again fighting aliens, or dodgy RPG’s fighing the same ‘Ancient Warlock Necromancer trying to take over the world’ shit! All of course with the same pro-US worldview and value system installed into them.
@ #13, I agree to some extent.
This isnt a game about graphics, its about tactical management of a cricket side. Its nothing like baseball, its a game for the civilised nations
Cant find the torrent !!!!
I reckon the dude who commented above me is captain of his gay cricket team at school. Like u would wanna download this crap.
Are you guys telling me that im not allowed an opinion? Just because i dont like cricket management games doesnt mean that i dont understand other people do and i think you will find that crysis is a much more anticipated game then Internations Cricket Captain III. I do enjoy some management titles but cricket is not a game im interested in thats why i said the things i did.
My comments on my posts are my opinion on a game or genre that i like or dislike, its not an unbiased review and generally most other gamers agree with me. I do not have an extreme opinion or tell you that cricket is crap and should not be played all i said its for die hard cricket fans which it is. If you dont like my opinion i cant see how that makes me a jerk. But then again thats your opinion….
@shiny : well if you are as stupid as it seems from the post, then you should not be allowed to post an opinion. You are being bashed coz you said the games graphics are bad. This game doesn’t need super high graphics as its about management. have you ever seed any tycoon games, are they about graphics ?? please post with some sense ( like martin/mike)
i can take criticism on board and have changed the post. Hope this is OK for everyone who didnt lke my original as i thinks it fair. Sorry if i offended anyone, wont happen again.
Hey, how about you fuck off of him and go hit your head with something heavy?
“the promo shots from the publisher make the game look like bad” and “Average gamers wont find anything enjoyable here” seem like two pretty sensible statements to me. The graphics look pretty horrid by today’s standards. Sport management games don’t have to look ugly and that’s how this one does, not because this is a management game, but because it’s a low-budget title made by a bunch of amateurish developers who have no prior experience in sports games whatsoever (that is if you don’t count Carol Vorderman’s Sudoku as a sport game).
@ Shiny. Ok pal, no worries!Understood.
@ Boo.. You should Fuck off! The graphics by management standards are quite good, the animations are accurate, even if the players are generic. Look at the Football Manager games by Sports Interactive(the best ones), they don’t even have 3D graphic animation at all, so you’re a fuckwit for saying that the graphics here are worse than other management games! Secondly, you dickhead, the International Cricket series has been running for at least a decade you moron! It’s made by a core of people who really know their subject matter unlike you, shithead! It’s a niche game of course, and without the budget of the FIFA series for example(obviously), but that doesn’t make it amateurish, it’s a very accurate simulation of cricket.
It’s also hardly a ‘budget’ title, 30 Quid in the UK! Just cause it doesn’t portray some loser US sports like Basebore, or Stop and Start running for fuckwits(American Football), or Basketshite, doesn’t mean that it isn’t a good game for those that like cricket. I most heartily recommend this game to all cricket fans that otherwise have to make do with the poxy EA Cricket where ‘realistic’ scoring of 200/0 off ten overs and bowling opposition out for 29 after 5 overs is the norm!
@15
That’s probably a good thing
I’m just curious where does your love of low-budget cricket-based simulators allows you to eat men alive (I don’t mean myself) for expressing their pretty valid opinions. Also, I’m not a cricket game expert by any means, but I’d say that you’re mistaking Brian Lara International Cricket series with International Cricket Captain series that tend to receive abysmal scores with every major game reviewing website and often criticized by being only minor database updates to the original 1999 game that started out as a college project, i.e. a homework assignment. Anyway, next time you want to express an opinion, perhaps you should replace “retarded Shiny!” with actual arguments, you idiot.
Look Boo, people can have their opinions, but base them on fact not fiction! Whining that you can’t play the game but only manage it, is an idiotic argument against a MANAGEMENT game! Also, look at most manager type games..Rarely do they have any more than photos and databases as their ‘graphics’. This on the other hand has a quite serviceable and realistically animated 3D engine to represent the action. You may not know, but this series is well known in the UK and is well backed and been around for 10 years! Just cause in the United Snakes’ it is not known, doesn’t make it an irrelevance for other people. I like all the big name action games as much as the next guy, but I also enjoy niche games that cover less well known areas. My real gripe w
And Boo you knob, Brian Lara Cricket is something totally different, and like the EA Sports Cricket, it is a crappy rendition of the game. It has nothing to do with the ICC series, which by and large gets good reviews by those in the know. You’re the fucking idiot for not knowing the difference between an action sports game and a management simulation! As for valid arguments, I already made them earlier you illiterate trailer trash!Learn to fucking read!
Learn to fucking argue. First you offend people and then you want them to listen to you or be fair in their replies? My god, you’re stupid.
The game only popular in India and Australia..no thanks.
Well V2 if i am the captain of the gay cricket team, please can i have the the stumps back that you have in your ass. And ask your mum to stop using the bat handle for a sex aid
Cheers
Cricket is gay enough, but this screams “Queer Eye”. I can see Will and Grace playing this. How about Cricket Tycoon? I’ll go back to playing “Spiceworld” on my PS1 now…
One can only truly appreciate how good of a management game this is if one has grown up watching and playing cricket, much like any other sport. If you don’t watch it or play it, you may not understand it, and as such, idiotic comments may appear. Cricket might seem “gay” to those who have never watched a match, maybe they saw a 5 second snippet on ESPN or something like that, and thought “this is gay”, but this game is just as popular, if not more so, than Baseball or American Football.
Empire Interactive (the team who have been making ICC for years) have done a wonderful job in reinventing the game, and the new look does justice to the time we’ve had to wait for it. Shiny has said that the average gamer will not get anything out of this game, and I would agree. But this game is not aimed at just anyone, the series never has been, it is made to help those with a keen interest in cricket to further their knowledge of the game and to fill time between matches (also great for rain delays
).
And if the game is only popular in the UK, Ireland, Australia, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, West Indies, South Africa and New Zealand, then I would say that the team behind ICC have all their bases covered ^_^
To all those people out there who would tear the game to shreds without even playing it, I would ask two questions: Are you a cricket fan? Have you ever watching a cricket match of any length? If you havent, then get out of here, go find some youtube clips or download a match and learn just what cricket is all about before you come in here with stupid comments like “Cricket is gay”.
oh shit this game’s gotta be the shittiest damn game ever i’d rather eat dog shit than play this crap
As much as people must hate this game I wouldn’t mind a bit of a look but i am having trouble getting installing the game. Can anyone help me on this one without being abusive.
CHEERS!!
well it is personal opinion of liking or disliking any sport/game. Well, I personally love the sport for many reasons. I am living in Canada. I haven’t joined any Cricket Leauge here, but I regularly play street cricket with my friends
, that I do enjoy very much.
In U.S, the team participated in ICC Cup last year – not a very good experience and could not qualify to the World Cup that was held earlier this year, that was won by Australia – won against Sri Lanka in the final. U.S has its own league and its quite popular on State levels. For example, a couple years back I got a chance to watch U.S. Leauge Matches on PPV on dishnetwork.
All these things do let me know that Cricket is definitely the most popular sport in the World, AFTER SOCCER. Cricket may not yet be the most famous sport in North America, but I’ll let you know this for sure that North America is very different from most of the World in many ways. Ice Hockey, that seems to be quite popular here, I do enjoy this sport also, but it is not so popular in Europe, or Asia or Africa (obviously).
Here in North America, its hard to know what the World enjoys when we have very limited Media Coverage for sports events played around the World. Sky Digital in UK has permanent cricket channels, just because they have got so much cricket going on in their country.
Hey am not able to install the game.. its says K:\instmsi30.exe not found.. have anyone faced this problem before?
yeah am facing the same problem!! u got a sol?
YAH AM FACING SAME PROBLEM
Mount the disk. Copy all the files to your hard disk. There will be a file called instmsia Rename this file to instmsi30. then run the setup. It will give one error while running but will install the game and it works fine.
Question, the .xxx files what do i have to do with it to make it work? sorry may sound like a stupid question but I have no idea..
