Cricket
I can't seem to hit the ball - help!
You should check the mouse settings in the Preferences folder and make sure you have the fastest possible setting.
Is my Mac able to run the Cricket game?
The minimum specification for Cricket 3d is
G5 Mac processor
OSX 10.4 or later

And remember, if you can run the demo version, then you can run the full version. If the game runs slowly, then you need a faster processor to handle the graphics.
Why isn't the bowling ring shown on 2-player games?
- The ring is only shown on 1-player games. When 2 players are involved, the ring would show where the next ball was going to be aimed and that would give the batsman an unrealistic advantage.
Will you let me know when a new version of Cricket is available?
If you have contacted us by email, then you will be automatically added to the email database. Normally one email is sent per year to let you know what is happening with Cricket.
Why is the game sent out as a disc image (dmg) ?
Disc images are the recommended way of distributing software. In addition the dmg file is compressed and so the download time is reduced. Once you have the file on your Mac, drag the folder onto your hard-disc.
How does the calculation of performance affect the batting?
The game has many calculations but if these are made public it will stop being a game and become an exercise in mathematics.
