There are only a few cricket games around and Don Bradman Cricket 14 is regarded as the best cricket game of this generation. Released in 2014, this game is popular in countries who compete in cricket.
The game has received praise from critics for its comprehensive controls and player creation mode. The game has various features like the career mode, practice nets, full control of the field, better graphics and almost realistic facial features to make it lively. You can even appeal and review a decision if the umpire’s decision is questionable.
The game also features online play where you can connect to the servers and update the team rosters. There are online leaderboards and you can even save a match online.
When the game was released it came with a few glitches and bugs, which had hilarious outcomes. Let’s take a look at the five funniest moments users have faced while playing Don Bradman Cricket 14.
#5 Funny Fielding
Cricket players are trained to throw the ball towards the stump once they field it. Pretty simple right? However, the AI doesn’t think that’s the correct way and so they decide to pass the ball one by one rather than throwing it directly.
In this video, the batsman hits the ball which is collected by a fielder who throws it towards his team mate, who again throws it towards the bowler who just walks off as if nothing happened.
The batsman has enough time to take a run in all this commotion and even the commentators acknowledge the absolute circus on the ground. Watch the video to know how teamwork is done in cricket.
#4 Digging Gold?
Graphic glitches are common in games but it goes over the top when the wicket keeper digs into the ground to take a catch. We are sure there aren’t any rules for catches below the ground level and that’s why the umpire too doesn’t seem to mind.
The batsman hits the ball unsuccessfully and the wicketkeeper dives to catch it. It seems he trying to look something under the ground but voila, he emerges with the ball caught successfully.
This is what happens when the wicketkeeper is too dedicated to his job in Don Bradman Cricket 14.
#3 Wicketkeeper glitches out
The wicketKeeper has to be acrobatic to take catches and collect dot balls behind the wicket. A dive or two from the wicketkeeper is never surprising. What happens when the keeper decides to work the opposite way?
In this video, we see the wicket keeper clearly running ahead of the ball. He wanted to be different from the rest of the AI and he finally made his move.
#2 Players crashing
Players rarely crash into each other in real life, and it is surprising when they crash in a game which is programmed. We wonder how AI can be so clumsy on the ground, and not one but a whole bunch.
In this video, the player first drops a catch and collides with the other player who is trying to pick up the ball. He picks and throws the ball but wait, the other player had his head in the middle and the ball falls right there. He goes to pick it up the second time but butter fingers here messes it up again. Hope we never see this in a real match.
#1 Sky high stumps
Bowlers can easily send a stump getting uprooted with their pace, but to see a stump nearly taking a keeper out in a game is a rarity. This video is a mix of few funny instances while playing Don Bradman Cricket 14.
Players collecting the ball with their head, taking catches with almost impossible dives in real life and the wicket keeper forgetting he has to run out the batsman and much more.
