We’ve already given you a tutorial on how to play EA Sports Cricket. Today, we’re going to show you how to win the game – with the help of a few tricks and glitches. Here’s how to dominate at EA Sports Cricket with four quick tricks!

Tips and tricks for winning in EA Sports Cricket

  1. Six 6s – One Over

    How to win in EA Sports Cricket

    We start off with a fairly easy trick. If someone had told me back in the day that it was easy to score six boundaries in one over, I’d have laughed them out of the room. Now, however, with a few years of cricket under my belt – albeit virtual cricket – This is an easy move to execute perfectly each time. This trick relies on precision. Therefore, it might not be the trick to try if you’ve just picked up EA Sports Cricket for the first time. Seasoned players, however, should be able to master this one with little effort and practice. 

    All you need to do to hit continuous sixes is always ensure that the ball marker is clearly visible on the batsman’s leg side. From here, you’ll want to make sure that the leg stump is clearly visible. The way to do this is to move the batsman’s foot in such a way that you can see the leg stump. 

    Next, you’ll need to hit two buttons simultaneously; the button that boosts your shot and the one that advances your shot. You’ll need to hit both of these in the direction of the leg side. Practice this a few times in the nets, but once you’ve got the timing down, you’ll be hitting consistent 6s in every game.

  2. Ten Wickets – Ten Balls

    This is another relatively easy trick, if not easier than scoring consistent 6s. However, you’ll still need considerable practise to get this one to work as it relies on you having decent control over the ball marker. The first step to getting ten wickets in ten balls is to get a fast bowler. Next, you’ll want to take the ball marker and position it as close to the batsman’s leg as possible. 

    Once you’ve got the ball marker close to the batsman’s leg, you’ll need to adjust the speed and swing of the ball. Your ball speed always needs to be the maximum. Remember – fast bowler. Now for the swing. If you have a right-handed batsman, you’ll want to go for an inswing. For a left-handed batsman, an outswing is the best move. You’ll control the swing with the ‘S’ and ‘D’ keys. If you get the swing, speed, and positioning right, the ball should hit the stumps without fail. 

    You may need to mess around with the ball marker placement for a while before you find the sweet spot. What works best for me is to place the ball marker directly behind the batsman’s toes. This way, the AI is almost guaranteed to miss the ball consistently.

  3. Spinners = Easy wickets

    Usually, EA Sports Cricket takes spinners for runs. However, we still have a trick for you that is sure to make your spinner the spinner to end all spinners. All you need to do is place your players in the slips, and close to the batsman. You’ll need to surround him with a fairly tight field

    Next, ensure that you bowl short. You can’t bowl too short however, this will result in the umpire signalling you with the dreaded ‘no-ball’. If you nail the short ball, it’ll move slowly due to your use of a spin bowler. It will then either hit the stumps directly, or it will hit the bat, bounce up as if it were going to be caught, end up as a dot ball, or hit the pads. You’ve got a really high chance of getting an LBW if you use this trick and given that you only have to bowl a short ball, it’s one of the easiest tricks to get right.

  4. Extra runs

    So many games have glitches and slight errors or oversight in coding – EA Sports Cricket is one such game. There’s a glitch in the game where if you complete a run after an appeal to the umpire the run will be counted. You’ll need to be incredibly careful with your timing to get this right though. But if you nail it, you score an extra run every time!

    All you need to do is perform a run. Now, you’ll need to pay close attention to everything happening on the field because this can be a little bit tricky. The ball will break the stumps if it is thrown toward the wicketkeeper or bowler. Before this happens, you need to press ‘D’ – while you’re running. You also need to make sure that you are across the crease. Because you’re across the crease when you press ‘D’, the appeal won’t be counted. The wicketkeeper, therefore, won’t throw the ball again and you’ll get an extra run! It’s that easy.

I hail from the awe-inspiring beauty of South Africa. Born and raised in Pretoria, I've always had a deep interest in local history, particularly conflicts, architecture, and our country's rich past of being a plaything for European aristocracy. 'Tis an attempt at humor. My interest in history has since translated into hours at a time researching everything from the many reasons the Titanic sank (really, it's a wonder she ever left Belfast) to why Minecraft is such a feat of human technological accomplishment. I am an avid video gamer (Sims 4 definitely counts as video gaming, I checked) and particularly enjoy playing the part of a relatively benign overlord in Minecraft. I enjoy the diverse experiences gaming offers the player. Within the space of a few hours, a player can go from having a career as an interior decorator in Sims, to training as an archer under Niruin in Skyrim. I believe video games have so much more to teach humanity about community, kindness, and loyalty, and I enjoy the opportunity to bring concepts of the like into literary pieces.
