84/100

Touch Cricket is one of the most realistic representations of the sport on mobile. It avoids the 'hit-everything' arcade style and instead focuses on the timing and footwork that makes cricket so challenging. The use of multi-touch for batting is a genius way to simulate the different strokes and the weight of the bat.

The inclusion of Test matches, ODIs, and Twenty20 modes means you can play a quick game or a long, multi-day grind. The sound design is particularly noteworthy—the 'thwack' of the ball on the bat is incredibly satisfying. It’s a game for true cricket fans who appreciate the nuances of the sport rather than just swinging for six every ball.

Dinsun Review

Cricket is a game of immense strategy and patience. Touch Cricket is... not that. It’s a timing mini-game. You wait for the ball, you tap, you hope you hit a six. The physics are 'arcadey,' meaning the ball flies off the bat in ways that feel scripted rather than calculated. For a 40-year-old who appreciates the technical side of sports, this feels a bit like a toy.

It’s better than most early App Store sports games, but it hasn't evolved. The graphics are very primitive, with character models that look like they were made in a weekend. If you just want to hit a few balls while waiting for the bus, it’s fine. But if you're looking for a real cricket experience with fielding strategy and varied bowling tactics, you won't find it here. It’s too shallow for serious fans.
