Watch the Giant Bomb Quick Look and see the trainwreck of 2 years in development for yourself.
Have to admire for them to cancel the game after it's been released, and give refunds, compared to games like War Z or other dodgy games that are still on Steam.

All the copies will now be buried in a landfill.
As someone who follows cricket, I never have paid attention to cricket games. Last one I played was a Brian Lara one back in '98.

505 Games announce today the cancellation of Ashes Cricket 2013. The game was released briefly on Friday 22nd November 2013 on digital PC portal, Steam, but has since been removed by 505 Games following negative consumer feedback.
"The net result of the challenges we have faced was a game which, despite our best efforts over the course of a 2 year development, couldn’t meet the quality benchmarks of either us, our licensors or our customers. 505 Games’ main priority right now is to protect the Ashes name and that of the ECB and Cricket Australia, and do what we can to recompense the cricket community.
"The people who purchased the game will be contacted very shortly with details of a full refund."
Ashes Cricket 2013 had previously been due to release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U and PC in July, but was pushed back to November for quality purposes.
The game briefly appeared for sale last week, but was pulled from sale on Monday without warning.
All the copies will now be buried in a landfill.
