As the developer it was hard to watch and intensely funny at the same time. There was probably only one fact in the entire QL though - pretty much the entire Commonwealth is better at cricket than England :p Chicken! You Bloody Rippa!
The ignorance of Americans never ceases to amaze. Honestly, the second most played and followed sport in the world. But America sucks at it so the game must be crap! You guys have done an amazing job trying to replicate the subtle intricacies of a game of cricket. Something the Americans will never get... subtlety! They should do some research on what they are presenting. To not even know who Don Bradman is, let alone what cricket is, before presenting a review on a cricket game based on his legacy, is so incredibly typical of their own self importance and amateurism.
I was sold on the game until I saw they were using Steam.... so disappointing. Does anybody know where I can get hold of two Americans and an Irishman and force them to drink beer and play cricket with me?
As an Indian & an occasional Cricket watcher, I was peeing my pants while laughing the entire time! This was a "ripper" of a QL! Brought back memories of the 'Ashes Cricket 2013' QL. Chicken! You bloody ripper! :-D X-D
I always love watching Americans try and figure out cricket because the rules can be kind of archaic at the best of times - but putting it in computer game format is like trying to get someone to learn Chinese through a Serbian translator.
As an American who has been to Australia and England, I like me some cricket! Bowled a few overs, and watched quite a few matches. Once you learn the rules, it's a cool little game. I am glad to see there may be a decent game representing that. We shall see.
Australian here, I watched it assuming it would be a clusterfuck and the Americans would have zero clue about our most iconic sportsman and one of our most popular national pastimes. I was not disappointed.
Hahahaha...loved it! You guys still made it a tense finish. If only the other guy knew how to run :P Btw sad ducks are shown when a batsman gets dismissed without scoring. Its not a team logo :P
And next year, when another cricket game comes out, they won't remember anything and they'll have to get the Irishman to try and explain it again. I love the cricket quick looks. Always fun to have Danny in the office.
try match practice in practice mode nd check out some episodes of carrer mode u will surely find it awesome tce channel can give u superb episodes of don bradman
Ok this was pretty damn funny but it's also a perfect example of how insular Americans are, that the overriding mindset in that country is that the world begins and ends at their shores. Nothing else matters. The idea looks to have been to mock the game of cricket when in fact it only ends up making Americans look dumb. Anyway, a couple of facts about the game and about the great man: 1. Cricket is one of the top two or three most popular sports on the planet, regularly being listed as second behind football. It's much more popular than baseball. 2. Don Bradman is one of the greatest sportsmen to ever grace a sporting field. A study proved he was the single most dominant sportsman in any major sport in human history - more dominant than Pele, Jordan and Babe Ruth - well, more dominant than anyone EVER. So show some god damned respect.

Chicken! You Bloody Rippa!
I get the feeling this QL may make Don Bradman Cricket 15 have slightly more transparent controls!
TheSmithersy Well, a 1-1 thrashing with two to play... :P

TheSmithersy Bostonians playing cricket?!!?! Don't be silly!
Five years ago on this day (July 25th), we were treated to one of the greatest Quick Looks GB has ever produced.
I'm a huge cricket fan but this video was hilarious. Great watch.
No one cares Ali
There is something very MST3K about Giantbomb quick looks that scratches some kind of itch I didn't even know needed scratching. Love it.
Don Bradman Cricket Simulator? not interrested
Don Bradman Simulator ? Im all in !
at the 3 minute mark, everything changes.
As an Indian & an occasional Cricket watcher, I was peeing my pants while laughing the entire time! This was a "ripper" of a QL! Brought back memories of the 'Ashes Cricket 2013' QL.
Chicken! You bloody ripper! :-D X-D
As an Australian... This video was hilarious.
I know! I'm so impressed they decided to play this.
I always love watching Americans try and figure out cricket because the rules can be kind of archaic at the best of times - but putting it in computer game format is like trying to get someone to learn Chinese through a Serbian translator.
as a huge cricket fan and a huge fan of this game. This video is absolutely hilarious to watch!
This may be the best thing giant bomb has ever done. There are tears streaming down my face. Granted I’m pretty stoned, but still this is incredible.
As an Aussie this is one of the greatest Quick Looks I've ever seen. Absolutely brilliant
As an American who has been to Australia and England, I like me some cricket! Bowled a few overs, and watched quite a few matches. Once you learn the rules, it's a cool little game. I am glad to see there may be a decent game representing that. We shall see.
IT'S THE BEST TIME OF THE YEAR: CRICKET QUICK LOOK TIME
Really enjoyed the commentry guys.. You are awesome.
New favourite quick look. The Don Bradman at the end was just the icing on the cake..
Hahahaha oh god that intro. I'm not sure I want to watch past that because I know it's just going to be cricket.
Still the strongest opening of any GB Quick Look.
Best intro ever.
Australian here, I watched it assuming it would be a clusterfuck and the Americans would have zero clue about our most iconic sportsman and one of our most popular national pastimes. I was not disappointed.
I'm crying this is so hilarious
"Yew liddle rippah!"
Every time.
Easily the most entertaining cricket match I've ever watched. And I've watched some f'n cricket.
As an Australian, this is so bad (their lack of understanding of anything) that it's amazing. Such a funny video!
10yrs ago...what an intro. I miss Giant Bomb 😔
"Now I just do that idiot thing every time" is the most introspective thing Dan has ever thought.
Hahahaha...loved it! You guys still made it a tense finish. If only the other guy knew how to run :P Btw sad ducks are shown when a batsman gets dismissed without scoring. Its not a team logo :P
2:55 I'm sold. What a beautiful waste of five minutes.
Your commentary at the start made me subscribe you LMAO
This game of Cricket is brought to you by Chicken™
eedobaba7726 YOU BLOODY RIPPER
Danny: Don’t run, don’t run!
Dan: Nope!
Danny: Good man!
Dan: I was actually trying to run...
The beginning of this Quick Look is HILARIOUS!!!
Hope the later Don Bradman games adds the title screen face stuff from Mario 64.
They are playing Baseball wrong. What are they doing?
What are you talking about?
This is the way baseball is supposed to be played!
Chowder7116 Wrong. You people are playing cricket incorrectly. No wonder you only score a few runs every match.
Still the best Giant Bomb quicklook of all time.
The new blood and GB East as really revitalised the site.
That chicken narrative was something special. Very funny QL
One of the classics of giant bomb Quick looks!
21:17 that little sign on the field REALLY fuckin looks like Deadpool.
If only they play Don Bradman 17 back then after this one...
The picture on the field looks like Deadpool to me.
I came for the Jeff but stayed because of the dan o'dwyer
Hey everyone, let's get in an argument over which sport we think is better!
SgtPepper291 Cricket. There lets start. I know I'm a bit late but who cares
Y O U B L O O D Y R I P P A
This video had a sense of hilarious and pain at the same time.
Definitely one of the strongest QL intros.
This is the funniest thing I've seen come out of Giant Bomb.
Simple Dan having a field day.
Yes Dan, everybody who loves cricket and watches this is indeed a "sad duck"
YOU BLODDY RIPPAH
The duck means that the batsman has scored no runs.
I found this video a mixture of hilarious and infuriating.
Funny! Good stuff guys.
Do you know how good Bradman was?Take your best baseball player,double his ability and you have Bradman.
danny should've been hired by giantbomb
We are going to see a lot of this in the next xpantherx video haha
And next year, when another cricket game comes out, they won't remember anything and they'll have to get the Irishman to try and explain it again.
I love the cricket quick looks. Always fun to have Danny in the office.
funniest quick look of the year
This is really hilarious!!! ROFL :D
don bradman simulator 2014
RIP the Don
I'm sitting here playing this very game in Xbox One, this was very hard to play
So much content this week
All that's missing is the spot-fixing mode.
42:35 Danny remembers who he's talking to
His character looked like he was eating a powdered doughnut under his mask
The best part of this video is listening to the growing disappointment of the Irishman on commentary.
The Don-vahkiin.
Still the best quick look
The ending had me rolling
Just saying to get a LBW you have to appeal
this was so amazing
Watch the first 10 minutes and the last 3 minutes.
I like cricket.
Rugby next please!
Don Boardman dragon born
"wheres the usa team?"-priceless comment! #carnaustralia
He drew a square, you're fucked now

Danny could have contributed more to this quick look...
This is piss funny!
Dude this game looks and plays better than Battlefield 4

39:40 Jerk! 😂
Could be worse, could be fucking Baseball, hell that's some bullshit sport.
Yawn.
Game of the Year 2014
But funny Video Guys!!!!!!!!.
f*cking brad haddin
Too bad none of the cricket games are available in the U.S. the sport itself and the games look interesting.
No this is not a good videogame.
Cricket is one thing American's won't get it right....EVER! :-D
Neither do europeans

The thing is cricket is not popular in the US in fact all of North America would rather watch/play baseball than cricket
Black-Op345Gaming And you idiotic Americans think that america is all that matters which is,why you think baseball is more popular
cricket is such a stupid game -.-
