It isn't all Red Stripes in the sun, though. Brian Lara 2007 is an accessible but unspectacular cricket sim which feels slightly shallow compared to the more serious EA Cricket 2007. Of course, it's far more approachable. From the comprehensive, but never patronising, tutorials to its simpler batting and bowling controls, it breaks down one the world's most deliberately complicated sports into a fun pick-up-and-play game attuned for multi-player. But while its EA counterpart took the bold step of mapping shot play onto the analogue stick, Brian Lara's old-school technique feels less involving, even if it does give you far superior control over the direction of your shots.
