I’m not ashamed to say I turned to Google more than a couple of times, and even then still found myself struggling. Simply saying “push this button to bowl a leg cutter” is a pretty poor tutorial, and does nothing to welcome newcomers picking up the game for the first time. It doesn’t explain when each delivery is most effective, what it does, why it’s effective, nothing. In bowling, for instance, if you don’t know what a Doosra or ‘Effort’ delivery is, Ashes Cricket certainly won’t tell you, offering no help whatsoever. They don’t explain what each thing does, just describe what they are.
There are guides on batting, bowling and fielding, along with practice games to help further hone your skills – and none of them actually fully explain the game’s mechanics.
That’s why I was so disappointed with its lacklustre tutorials. Launching just ahead of the Australian Ashes, there’s opportunity that this game could be an impulse buy for many enthusiast players as well as the hardcore audience.
