The ball's hurtling towards you at
95mph, hit it for six and you're a hero, miss it and you're
history... In Brian Lara International Cricket your every move is
captured and analysed using innovative television presentation
techniques.
A key innovation is the exclusive incorporation of Hawk-Eye, the
cutting-edge sports tracking and analysis graphics system, as used
by Channel 4 and Sky Sports in their televised cricket coverage.
Brian Lara International Cricket will be the first video game to
make use of Hawk-Eye, incorporated into the game under license from
its creators, Hawk-Eye Innovations Ltd.
Hawk-Eye uses sophisticated image technologies to aggregate, replay,
and analyse ball and player movement to improve LBW decisions and
compare bowlers' speed, swing, line and length.
Hawk-Eye monitors and analyses your bowling accuracy throughout an
over, showing the path of each delivery, where it pitches, and, most
controversially, is used to see whether the umpire's LBW decision
was the right call.
Additionally Brian Lara International Cricket makes use of the Third
Umpire decision aid. This comes into play when a line decision for
run outs are too close to call by the umpire alone.
From the most modern technologies of Hawk-Eye, Brian Lara
International Cricket takes players back in time to compete in
Classic Matches from history, played out in black-and-white
newsreel-style presentation.
The Classic Matches mode has you joining in a genuine historic match
– such as the Test Match of 1882, which led to the creation of the
Ashes – at a critical point. Can you pull off the same amazing
cricketing feats as the greatest cricketers from times past, or even
improve on their performance?
Back in the modern-day, the televisual presentation extends to a
'picture-in-picture' display. When you've timed the ball to
perfection and sent it flying across the outfield, the main screen
shows the fielders chasing after the ball, while the inset
picture-in-picture shows the batsmen belting between the wickets,
racking up the runs.
There are also glorious action replays of boundaries being hit,
batting milestones being reached, aggression between batsman and
bowler, wickets falling, even the stump-cam blacking out when ball
hits the stumps! And it wouldn't be cricket without the ubiquitous
animated ducks waddling on-screen when players have been dismissed
without scoring.
And for the ultimate in TV presentation, Brian Lara International
Cricket brings together the voices of cricket, including David
Gower, Tony Greig, Jonathan Agnew, Ian Bishop, and Bill Lawry, to
form the biggest commentary team ever featured in any cricket game.
