Total Cricket is a freeware program for Windows9x/ME/NT/2k/XP by
Sriram K, Sumit Chowdhury, Reuben Verghese and Yaju Arya.
It requires the Visual Basic 6 run-time files and some other additional run time files (not included in base download but available from Total Cricket web site if necessary).
Please note
that whilst the credits currently say based on International Test Cricket by
Daniel Thomas there is no ITC code or algorithms used in the game and I had no
part in its development. I would say a better choice of word would be 'Inspired
by' as a lot of ideas and functionality have been borrowed from ITC.
The game is
also still in a beta stage so if you have any problems contact the developers
via their web page. I have had a few cases where the game has simply displayed
an error message and ended.
