As the developer it was hard to watch and intensely funny at the same time. There was probably only one fact in the entire QL though - pretty much the entire Commonwealth is better at cricket than England :p Chicken! You Bloody Rippa!
The ignorance of Americans never ceases to amaze. Honestly, the second most played and followed sport in the world. But America sucks at it so the game must be crap! You guys have done an amazing job trying to replicate the subtle intricacies of a game of cricket. Something the Americans will never get... subtlety! They should do some research on what they are presenting. To not even know who Don Bradman is, let alone what cricket is, before presenting a review on a cricket game based on his legacy, is so incredibly typical of their own self importance and amateurism.
I was sold on the game until I saw they were using Steam.... so disappointing. Does anybody know where I can get hold of two Americans and an Irishman and force them to drink beer and play cricket with me?
I always love watching Americans try and figure out cricket because the rules can be kind of archaic at the best of times - but putting it in computer game format is like trying to get someone to learn Chinese through a Serbian translator.
Australian here, I watched it assuming it would be a clusterfuck and the Americans would have zero clue about our most iconic sportsman and one of our most popular national pastimes. I was not disappointed.
As an Indian & an occasional Cricket watcher, I was peeing my pants while laughing the entire time! This was a "ripper" of a QL! Brought back memories of the 'Ashes Cricket 2013' QL. Chicken! You bloody ripper! :-D X-D
As an American who has been to Australia and England, I like me some cricket! Bowled a few overs, and watched quite a few matches. Once you learn the rules, it's a cool little game. I am glad to see there may be a decent game representing that. We shall see.
Hahahaha...loved it! You guys still made it a tense finish. If only the other guy knew how to run :P Btw sad ducks are shown when a batsman gets dismissed without scoring. Its not a team logo :P
And next year, when another cricket game comes out, they won't remember anything and they'll have to get the Irishman to try and explain it again. I love the cricket quick looks. Always fun to have Danny in the office.
try match practice in practice mode nd check out some episodes of carrer mode u will surely find it awesome tce channel can give u superb episodes of don bradman
Ok this was pretty damn funny but it's also a perfect example of how insular Americans are, that the overriding mindset in that country is that the world begins and ends at their shores. Nothing else matters. The idea looks to have been to mock the game of cricket when in fact it only ends up making Americans look dumb. Anyway, a couple of facts about the game and about the great man: 1. Cricket is one of the top two or three most popular sports on the planet, regularly being listed as second behind football. It's much more popular than baseball. 2. Don Bradman is one of the greatest sportsmen to ever grace a sporting field. A study proved he was the single most dominant sportsman in any major sport in human history - more dominant than Pele, Jordan and Babe Ruth - well, more dominant than anyone EVER. So show some god damned respect.
We could make jokes and laugh about baseball lol they use gloves to catch lmaoooo,but we dont because we respect all sports and have Aussies playing in MLB.
Jellybeantiger 100 km/h (above average for a batted cricket ball), which equals 62 miles per hour (U.S.). 150km/h (+/- 4% of average [mean] speed for a batted baseball), about 93 mph. If the cricket ball were traveling at half again the speed it normally does, then you can talk crap on gloves. If you want to measure dicks, at least use rugby as your measure rather than cricket.
***** Cricket is not just swinging bat at an incoming ball..how much ever speed it may be..cricket involves technique, temperment, finesse and more..try to aquire more knowledge abt cricket and even u would appreciate cricket involves more skill..
shankaran pitchaimani Dude, did I say that there was anything wrong with cricket? I think it's a great game, I'm just saying that there is a real physical reason why baseball players wear gloves, and that the additional force of the ball when in play justifies their use. He was implying that there is something inherently more manly in catching a cricket ball without a glove than a baseball with one. That's a shitty argument. If he were to compare American football to rugby, however, THEN you would have a legitimate argument for superior manliness.
shankaran pitchaimani I think the only other comment on this video I made was my sarcastic defense of my fellow yanks. I have commented on other videos that baseball is a superior game, and I do believe that, but I never said so in a negative way. In fact, my best friend lived in London for 2 years, and when he got home, we watched cricket match of the week often. It's a cool game, really, but my experience is that baseball is both more exciting and more demanding skill-wise.

Chicken! You Bloody Rippa!
I get the feeling this QL may make Don Bradman Cricket 15 have slightly more transparent controls!
TheSmithersy Well, a 1-1 thrashing with two to play... :P

TheSmithersy Bostonians playing cricket?!!?! Don't be silly!
Five years ago on this day (July 25th), we were treated to one of the greatest Quick Looks GB has ever produced.
at the 3 minute mark, everything changes.
There is something very MST3K about Giantbomb quick looks that scratches some kind of itch I didn't even know needed scratching. Love it.
Don Bradman Cricket Simulator? not interrested
Don Bradman Simulator ? Im all in !
I'm a huge cricket fan but this video was hilarious. Great watch.
No one cares Ali
As an Australian... This video was hilarious.
I know! I'm so impressed they decided to play this.
I always love watching Americans try and figure out cricket because the rules can be kind of archaic at the best of times - but putting it in computer game format is like trying to get someone to learn Chinese through a Serbian translator.
This may be the best thing giant bomb has ever done. There are tears streaming down my face. Granted I’m pretty stoned, but still this is incredible.
IT'S THE BEST TIME OF THE YEAR: CRICKET QUICK LOOK TIME
As an Aussie this is one of the greatest Quick Looks I've ever seen. Absolutely brilliant
Australian here, I watched it assuming it would be a clusterfuck and the Americans would have zero clue about our most iconic sportsman and one of our most popular national pastimes. I was not disappointed.
As an Indian & an occasional Cricket watcher, I was peeing my pants while laughing the entire time! This was a "ripper" of a QL! Brought back memories of the 'Ashes Cricket 2013' QL.
Chicken! You bloody ripper! :-D X-D
as a huge cricket fan and a huge fan of this game. This video is absolutely hilarious to watch!
"Now I just do that idiot thing every time" is the most introspective thing Dan has ever thought.
10yrs ago...what an intro. I miss Giant Bomb 😔
New favourite quick look. The Don Bradman at the end was just the icing on the cake..
"Yew liddle rippah!"
Every time.
Still the strongest opening of any GB Quick Look.
Best intro ever.
I'm crying this is so hilarious
Really enjoyed the commentry guys.. You are awesome.
Hahahaha oh god that intro. I'm not sure I want to watch past that because I know it's just going to be cricket.
This game of Cricket is brought to you by Chicken™
eedobaba7726 YOU BLOODY RIPPER
As an American who has been to Australia and England, I like me some cricket! Bowled a few overs, and watched quite a few matches. Once you learn the rules, it's a cool little game. I am glad to see there may be a decent game representing that. We shall see.
2:55 I'm sold. What a beautiful waste of five minutes.
Your commentary at the start made me subscribe you LMAO
Y O U B L O O D Y R I P P A
Still the best Giant Bomb quicklook of all time.
The beginning of this Quick Look is HILARIOUS!!!
As an Australian, this is so bad (their lack of understanding of anything) that it's amazing. Such a funny video!
If only they play Don Bradman 17 back then after this one...
21:17 that little sign on the field REALLY fuckin looks like Deadpool.
Easily the most entertaining cricket match I've ever watched. And I've watched some f'n cricket.
Danny: Don’t run, don’t run!
Dan: Nope!
Danny: Good man!
Dan: I was actually trying to run...
Hope the later Don Bradman games adds the title screen face stuff from Mario 64.
The new blood and GB East as really revitalised the site.
Do you know how good Bradman was?Take your best baseball player,double his ability and you have Bradman.
The picture on the field looks like Deadpool to me.
They are playing Baseball wrong. What are they doing?
What are you talking about?
This is the way baseball is supposed to be played!
Chowder7116 Wrong. You people are playing cricket incorrectly. No wonder you only score a few runs every match.
I came for the Jeff but stayed because of the dan o'dwyer
Simple Dan having a field day.
YOU BLODDY RIPPAH
That chicken narrative was something special. Very funny QL
Hahahaha...loved it! You guys still made it a tense finish. If only the other guy knew how to run :P Btw sad ducks are shown when a batsman gets dismissed without scoring. Its not a team logo :P
One of the classics of giant bomb Quick looks!
Definitely one of the strongest QL intros.
This video had a sense of hilarious and pain at the same time.
don bradman simulator 2014
This is the funniest thing I've seen come out of Giant Bomb.
The duck means that the batsman has scored no runs.
Hey everyone, let's get in an argument over which sport we think is better!
SgtPepper291 Cricket. There lets start. I know I'm a bit late but who cares
Funny! Good stuff guys.
RIP the Don
The best part of this video is listening to the growing disappointment of the Irishman on commentary.
The Don-vahkiin.
Yes Dan, everybody who loves cricket and watches this is indeed a "sad duck"
This is really hilarious!!! ROFL :D
I found this video a mixture of hilarious and infuriating.
funniest quick look of the year
danny should've been hired by giantbomb
So much content this week
He drew a square, you're fucked now
We are going to see a lot of this in the next xpantherx video haha
The ending had me rolling
His character looked like he was eating a powdered doughnut under his mask
Just saying to get a LBW you have to appeal
I'm sitting here playing this very game in Xbox One, this was very hard to play
All that's missing is the spot-fixing mode.
Still the best quick look
42:35 Danny remembers who he's talking to
And next year, when another cricket game comes out, they won't remember anything and they'll have to get the Irishman to try and explain it again.
I love the cricket quick looks. Always fun to have Danny in the office.
Don Boardman dragon born
I like cricket.
this was so amazing
Watch the first 10 minutes and the last 3 minutes.
Rugby next please!
39:40 Jerk! 😂
"wheres the usa team?"-priceless comment! #carnaustralia
This is piss funny!
This is fucking hilarious xD
Danny could have contributed more to this quick look...
f*cking brad haddin
But funny Video Guys!!!!!!!!.
Could be worse, could be fucking Baseball, hell that's some bullshit sport.
Yawn.
try match practice in practice mode nd check out some episodes of carrer mode u will surely find it awesome tce channel can give u superb episodes of don bradman
Dude this game looks and plays better than Battlefield 4
good one.
Game of the Year 2014
No this is not a good videogame.
Haha
s*it he has no hair
AHHHHHHHHHHH!
Cricket is one thing American's won't get it right....EVER! :-D
Neither do europeans
fixer10091994 they invented it. :D
Rodney mm
Well...those islanders did, but i wont call them europeans
Too bad none of the cricket games are available in the U.S. the sport itself and the games look interesting.
cricket is such a stupid game -.-
get it that your american
What a stupid sport haha.

So show some god damned respect.
The thing is cricket is not popular in the US in fact all of North America would rather watch/play baseball than cricket
Black-Op345Gaming And you idiotic Americans think that america is all that matters which is,why you think baseball is more popular
So painful to watch!
Oh man it hurts listening to people not know the slightest thing about a sport.
We could make jokes and laugh about baseball lol they use gloves to catch lmaoooo,but we dont because we respect all sports and have Aussies playing in MLB.
