Stick Cricket comes to the iPhone, and it’s free!

The prayers of millions of iPhone cricket gamers seem to have been finally heard. One of the most popular cricket games on the Internet and on cellphones, Stick Cricket (also marketed on some handsets as Ian Botham Stick Cricket) has been released for the iPhone. And unlike on some mobile platforms, the iPhone version of the game costs nothing – it is totally free. The app quietly made its way into the App Store some days ago, with no hype or brouhaha whatsoever, and is already shooting up the popularity charts, thanks to the cricket crazy public that has been starved of decent cricket games on the iPhone. And judging by what we have seen from a few minutes of playing it, it seems as simple and as much fun as ever!

In case you are wondering what the fuss is all about, Stick Cricket came to the fore a few years as an online game that let you bat by just hitting the arrow keys. It was totally one-dimensional (you could not bowl or set fields), but its sheer simplicity made it a huge hit among cricket followers. Mobile versions followed, and today one has an iPhone version. Being Stick Cricket addicts we have already downloaded it. If you have not played the game, we recommend you do so too. If you do not have an iPhone, heck, just go ahead and play the game on the Web here. You will be hooked, as will be the bowling!
