Heartland

Apologies if this has already been posted, but www.mousebreaker.com has a maddeningly addictive cricket game.

Not one for the flannelled purist, but when there's work to be done this can eat a whole morning.

Currently unable to beat Pakistan, which is a tad frustrating.

You'll find it under new games on the menu page - it's called Stick Cricket.

Stick Cricket deserves a few

agreed.

I just beat India...

Password?

@ ED - Panda. That's what it said at the top when I logged in.

Oh, forgot to duck when the fast bowler gave me a bouncer. Carnage at the crease ...

Finally got past Pakistan, thanks to an unbeaten 78 from Paul Collingwood. New Zealand next.

Pleased to see it's not just my life being wasted, though.

Only got as far as Zimbabwe so far

That's cr*p

How far have you got s**t Wit?

bloody pakistanis

The Kiwis are even tougher. They've got a spinner! Not fair! I finally took him for 26 in one over, then lost 4 wickets to the paceman coz I was overexcited.

/sulks/

@ Ed: Zimbabwe kept me stuck for a while. You'll get there.

I got the ball in my head. Twice

In 45 seconds, yeah

Oh right

I think I got hit in the head about 12 times in my first game.

I can't get past the Windies. I've got closer and closer and just tied two consecuetive games. Which means I've 'lost' ...

Fcuk! I still can't spell ...

pah! i've just cruised past the zimzams and the windies with two overs to spare in each match. i'm sure to come a cropper soon....

needed 23 off the last over against pakistan....made it with a ball to spare: 6 6 3 4 4
