  Patch 5.2 Now Live

  https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31509885/18f885469d888a66b93479ec769b8ec3a199a583.pngThanks to everyone who provided feedback on the latest update we have added a few more improvements to the game. Improvements There is a new option in the settings menu to change the length of the bats to a height that feels comfortable for you Changes to the bat physics should see the ball coming off the bat better than before - in particular edges, glances, deflections and shots behind square will now use the bowlers momentum more effectively The diving fielder no longer has super human reflexes or arm reach The new swing bowlers added in the latest update have been given their own hairstyles so you can easily tell who is bowling Fixes Fixed a bug where the ball could get stuck beneath the umpire - there is now a catch-all timeout which will progress the game to the next ball in any situation where a fielder is unable to reach the ball Fixed a bug where the ball wouldn't disappear after being retired hurt

  Patch 5.1 Now Live

  https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31509885/6b12bd16b4c90b4d48ad490b8f7ee921d75663e6.jpg This is a small patch aimed at fixing the issue a number of people were experiencing with the buttons for replay/pause not being detected. Reworked the input detection system to native SteamVR rather than relying on the Unity abstraction. Please let us know if this fixes the replay/pause issue for you! Fixed a bug where the concussion counter was not resetting in between batsmen when you got hit on the helmet. Change to spin bowling: the max amount of turn generated is now affected by the bowling speed. This means that a quick and flat delivery will not turn as much as a slow tossed up delivery. Minor tweaks to the bowler pitch maps in Test mode. Hope everyone is enjoying the gripping contest over in England at the moment!

  Update 5 Now Live

  https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31509885/5610de05ed4d8ecea149d96f15658727b2fd0537.png We're very excited to announce the new update is now available! Thanks so much to everyone who has left reviews and feedback with the stuff you'd like to see added to Cricket Club. We're pleased to have been able to pack a lot of your requests into this update :) New Instant Replay Feature Can't believe you missed that last delivery? You can now trigger an instant replay to watch what happened in slow motion. You can queue the replay anytime after you've played your shot by pressing the trackpad button. It will start playing as soon as the ball has been fielded. Replay Controls Menu Button - Exit replay early Left/Right Trackpad - Manually step backwards / forwards through the replay Using a Real Bat? You can trigger a replay by waving your bat above your head after your shot New Difficulty Mode Cricket Club now has 3 difficulty settings: Club, County & Test. The existing Test mode has been rebranded as County level (with all high scores being ported across) and the new Test mode offers a much more challenging array of bowlers. New Bowlers & Delivery Types Swing Bowlers: E Chatfield the right arm swing bowler and G. Troup the left armer have been added into the attack at Test level. Seam Bowling: J. Mantis the medium pacer will now seam the ball when playing at Test level. Slow Balls: The quicks now have a genuine slow ball variation in Test level Arm Balls: The spinners now have the ball that carries on straight added to their arsenal at Test level. Flighted Deliveries: The spinners will now vary their speed and flight with more tossed up deliveries. Did you nick that? The fielders will now appeal for caught behinds and other close calls. Don't worry though, our eagle eyed umpires know just how to respond to over-zealous appeals! Other Changes The size of the fielders has been reduced by a small amount The big screen at the Basin will now show th...
