Anil Kumble's Googly Cricket Challenge

Anil Kumble's Googly Cricket Challenge is that latest game in the Googly series (previous games were Anil Kumble's Googly Independence Cup and Anil Kumble's Googly World Cup 97). I hope this game sees a wider audience than previous games in the series as it is very detailed in its simulation and quite addictive.

The following description and features list has been copied from the Anil Kumble's Googly Products page.

Cricket Challenge is a powerful, attractive and interactive visual package on windows that turns your computer into a playing field. Whether you're just having fun or having a serious game of cricket, Cricket Challenge keeps you enthralled and lets you play one-off matches between any 2 teams or a tournament of your choice in any format.
