Four players can take to the field in a variety of game modes including the iconic Ashes Series, Test Matches and limited over games including 20 Over matches. Batsmen will use the Wii Remote to drive, cut, slog and nurdle their way through an innings. When bowling, players will use the Wii Remote to polish the ball and bowl accurately -applying swing and turn to their deliveries in order to take those all important wickets. Ashes Cricket 2009 also allows players to fully customise their field, with unique ‘pick up and drop’ fielder settings.
Ashes Cricket 2009 features a Scenario mode that will pit players against more than 50 match-defining moments, such as scoring vital match-winning runs, taking dramatic last-gasp wickets and seeing off the oppositions’ danger men to succeed.
As well as featuring the fully licensed teams from England and Australia, Ashes Cricket 2009 will feature six other Test playing nations as well as ten of the world’s most recognisable stadiums, including the five featuring in the 2009 npower Ashes Series.
