Five great free mobile cricket games

If you can’t get enough of the action from the Cricket World Cup then why not install some free cricket games to play on your phone in between matches? Here’s a selection of some of our favorites:

Cricket3D (Java), Free

With its precise, detailed control system, Cricket3D really tests your cricketing skills (or at least your ability to read the game). Games in Crciket3D are limited to just two overs, and the object is to score more runs than your opponent with these 12 balls. The graphics won’t bowl you over, but the Aussie commentary in the game is great.
