Conservative shots at the beginning of a game are often preferred to wild shots later in the game. Your batsman has a confidence meter that needs to be monitored. You can choose whether your batsman will play on the back or front foot. You can choose from five difficulty modes. You’ll see the AI make overthrows, fumbles and dropped catches. The AI is good and plays like a human opponent. The player control and the stroke play in the game has improved from prior iterations of the EA Cricket Series, but they could be better. The commentary is good and will keep you company while you slug it out. The venues available are recognizable international venues. You can adjust the pitch type and the weather condition. Several pitches are available with varying weather conditions and match venues.

The game graphics looks good with the stadiums and players well depicted. You can also download a third-party roster update online for that. But, if you still got that itch to play with real player names, you can edit the names in the Team Management mode.

The remaining 14 international teams in the game use random generic names and kits. Only four teams have full licenses for names and kits. Cricket 07 doesn’t have as much licenses as the prior games in the series.
