One Day Cricket By Andrew Finch England's cricketers can't seem to bat their way out of a paper bag these days, so here's a chance for QL owners to go to bat for themselves. One Day Cricket can be played by one or two players. The normal rules of the game are used and a score card is shown at the end of each over. [ And yes, this should be a QL program. What gives? Well, apparently someone (hi, Martijn!) misread the magazine page and entered it into the World of Spectrum database anyway. That, of course, constitutes a challenge, so I ported it to the Spectrum. The screen dimensions are a little different (the most important difference being that it has fewer characters per line, but, oddly enough, two more lines) and the sound is a bit more bleepy and less squeaky, but all in all the result is remarkably similar to the original. The animation is rather slower, that's the main gameplay difference. Oh, and as a Dutchman, I felt that it was incumbent on me to change the teams from the original Australia vs England from the 1980s to something a bit more contemporary and patriotic...
