Get Set, Brian Laras Back - This July

Milestone is launching Brian Lara International Cricket this July, published by Codemasters

Milestone, the game distributor, is launching Brian Lara International Cricket this July, published by Codemasters for PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC.

Compared to the earlier version a key innovation is the incorporation of Hawk-Eye, the sports tracking and analysis graphics system, used by Channel 4 and Sky Sports in there televised cricket coverage. Brian Lara International Cricket will be the first video game to make use of Hawk-Eye.

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.

There are also 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. It also has ducks waddling on-screen when players have been dismissed without scoring.

For the TV presentation, Brian Lara International Cricket brings together the voices of cricket, including David Gower, Tony Greig, Jonathan Agnew, Ian Bishop, Bill Lawry, and Jeff Thomson, to form the biggest commentary team ever featured in any cricket game.

Well hopefully this shouldnt be like the others, where after some playing around you can hit all the balls for a six or a boundary...
