Stick Cricket - Howzzat...

We had an interesting character in our project. He was a business graduate from a well reputed, high standard business school. However, for personal preferences, he accepted to do testing [i am not telling testing as a anything less, but it is not the guy's speciality area] of a freshly developed application.

I will appreciate this guy for one good aspect of him. He never minds to step out of his comfort zone to do the assigned work. I believe that is a rare quality among us. If i question myself, i doubt it, i would probably tend to bend the requirement in such a way that it falls in my comfort zone. He introduced to me the usage of SWOT analysis for personal improvement. He had his own Vision and the plans he made to achieve his visions were awesome [- dont ask me what his vision was?]

Anyways, it is not the discussion topic. This wonderful guy i am refering to, is very fond of playing games. He bought a laptop specifically to play games [and later tried very hard to sell it off - that is a different story]. Before leaving this project, the best value added service he did for us is to introduce a php based web game called Stick Cricket.

The control is very simple. Use only the four arrow keys - two of the keys [up & down] you rarely use them. There are different options to play. Most of the time, i will select the league game, but never succeeded to win the finals. My favourite teams are India & Australia. My toughest opponent is Pakistan and i had lost all my finals against this team.
Check it out. It is really addictive and contagious.

Tip : Check it out by playing this game Linux. I have tried using windows XP and Red Hat Linux. When played with FireFox in Red Hat Linux, the pace of the ball will be really challenging. It will be like setting the game level as Expert in EA Sports Cricket.

P.S.: We have a team here who will play this game atleast once in a day.

happy playing...bright
