The Ashes

The Ashes Game Summary

Destiny is in your hands as you lead your country to the crease to claw back a victory from the jaws of defeat. Play single player or bring a friend to enjoy in the cricket fun. Take careful aim and time your movements as you control the batting, bowling, and fielding of your team. 

How to Play

While fielding, use the arrow keys to choose which direction to play your shot. The red target shows where the ball will pass. When the circle says 'HIT!', press 'L' for a normal shot or 'K' for an attacking shot. For bowling, use the WASD keys to position your bowling marker and press 'B' for a normal shot or 'V' for an attacking shot. As the bowler runs in, you have a limited amount of time to apply spin to the ball using the WASD keys. When fielding, your fielder will be highlighted with a colored circle. Use the directional keys to control him. He will automatically pick up and throw the ball back, or catch it if it's in the air.
