Just received a copy of Pavilion Cricket from the early 90s. A real labour of love that allows you to play test, odi and domesitc cricket. Heaps of teams supplied, and it would be easy to make your own. The mechanic is different for each form of the game with Test Match the most complex.
It’s a really interesting concept. Three different types of game allow you to play a full summer of cricket in Australia or the UK, lots of teams. Falls short in a number of areas, but one of the more promising games I’ve seen. Wonder who created this?
I’ve uploaded images of Pavilion Cricket here

Hi Lee, will provide some more images and commentary soon. It’s an “okay” game (if IC is 9/10 then this one is around 6/10). However, I think with a little work it could become very very good. I’m keen to find the original publisher to see if he won’t make it open source/free so that people can add to it if they like.
I saw this first on eBay about 18 months ago, lost the auction, and then had to wait all this time to get one, which I picked up for only £5!
If anyone who read the blog knows the creator pls. let me know.
Do you have any more details on this game. Always on the look out for a good cricket game. International Cricket is the best sports sim on the market in my opinion but would like details of this one.
