I get it. It's a Jonathan Trott depression/mental breakdown simulator. Nice.

I wish I had bought a physical copy of this now - it would go well with my US copy of Limbo of the Lost (another released PC game that got pulled from the market nearly the moment it started selling).

I'm not a cricket fan (I'm American, after all :)), but I know a little bit about the game. These GIFs are hilarious (and sad) if you know even a little bit about how cricket is supposed to be played. It's a shame that any game could be released in this state, and the publisher should be ashamed. They should have done the right thing - saw that the game as received from the developer was garbage, and not released it at all.

Don Brandon 2014 has slipped into 2014 for its release date due to Microsoft. :|

The nets is a goodwill gesture because the game has slipped into 2014. The nets are batting, not bowling.



We wanted it for Boxing Day worldwide but logistically could not get in done. We have an issue with MS, digital cannot be at the same time as retail or they will not let you publish on X360 (large games can get away with it but not us).

Regardless, they have released a beta where you can bat in the nets to get some practice with the game:

Skip the xbox release then
 
Yeah I (pre?)ordered on PA just in case they have the copies and accidentally ship some out, but not holding my breath.

Indeed, last week I received the following from Play-Asia customer support:
We have just received this information from our supplier and we are sorry
to inform you that the release of the item Ashes Cricket 2013 has been
cancelled. With much regret, we have to cancel the order. We are hoping for
your kind understanding.

Alas!
