Howzat – An Online Social Cricket Game

I just came across the website for this game while browsing the Planetcricket.net forums. The developers describe Howzat as an “online social cricket game” and, perhaps with some audacity, the “world’s sexiest cricket game.” There isn’t much information available on the game at this point. There is a Facebook page up for it which states that game was to be released in late August 2009. It shouldn’t be too long then before we hear more information about its future.

These are the features of the game as listed on its website:

Play in your browser – no installs.

Manage your own team.

Customize your own players.

Play with different batting modes.

Choose from over 20 batting shots.

Pick three bowling modes.

Customize field settings.

Play with friends/strangers from around the world.

Play from Facebook/Orkut and post your scores.

Play in full screen/or play discreetly behind your boss’s back.

Participate in Tournaments.

Choose Avatars, Cricket grounds, and more…

Here’s a link to Howzat’s website where you can sign up to possibly be a part of the beta testing process and receive updates, and to their Facebook page.
