Positioning the shot is a simple case of picking the spot on the on-screen radar with the right stick – and the more talented the batsman, the more accurate the shot, so when you're down to the tail-enders expect to spray them around with all the grace of an untethered garden hose. There's a standard swipe that's the most common attack, though for more dangerous balls there's a defensive strike – and if it's a particularly inviting shot a lofted shot can send it skywards, either to head to the boundaries or into the hands of a waiting fielder. Batting is a matter of timing and positioning, with the player moving the batsman along the crease with the right stick and the face buttons offering different types of strokes. So for the uninitiated – and that's likely to be a large number of you, as Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 didn't have the highest of profiles - the basics. The genes of Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 - the last game in the series that racked up a solid 7.4 when it took to the wicket around the time of the last Cricket World Cup - are evident throughout, but the improvements come thick and fast. Thankfully, it's that series which forms the foundation for this timely comeback, and while the timing might whiff of rushed opportunism, Ashes 2009 goes someway to building upon the solid schematics laid out by Codemasters' past cricket games.

It also explains the annual billionaire's game of musical chairs that is football's offseason being shunted off the back pages of the papers, as the nation giddily expects a repeat of the glory witnessed in the summer of 2005.
That'll explain the surreptitious earpiece worn by the guy who sits the other side of the office, and it also explains the infrequent yelps he makes as he listens to Test Match Special. You might not have noticed but there's a game of cricket going on at the moment.
