Created by self-confessed statistic nuts, for statistic-nut cricket enthusiasts, International Cricket Captain III (ICC3) gives you the chance to steer your team to victory across several different cricket modes and teams. Players act as the manager of a cricket side, managing a budget and ultimately trying to build the best cricket club they can. ICC3 certainly has its merits as a sports management sim, although some irritations with the gameplay and a hideous graphics engine hamper the experience quite a bit.
There are five gameplay modes available, with the first being a full game mode. This mode lets you control a county cricket side, with a view to moving into captaining an international cricket team. The next mode, county & international, lets you captain both a county and international team of your choice. Here you can help train new talent, and with a keen eye and hard work, turn a virtual unknown into a cricketing legend. If you fancy yourself more of a big hitter and want to manage only proven players, there's the international career mode, which lets you take control of a side of your choice. The campaign sees you playing all the major cricketing nations, and also covers World Cup matches. The match series mode lets you set up your own custom One Day International (ODI) matches and tests, pitting your team against the strengths and weaknesses of some other nation. The last--which is the one that would best suit newcomers looking to wrap their mind around the sim-management gameplay style--is World Cup. Here you get the chance to relive three classic World Cup matches from 1999, 2003, and 2007, all of which were dominated by Australian teams.
