{{GameInfobox | publisher = EA Sports | developer = Beam Software | eu_rel = {{Release|1997}} | genre = Sports | style = Cricket | features = Single-player, Multi-player | media = CD-ROM | platforms = MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows | input = }} '''''Cricket 97''''' is a [[cricket]] game for PCs that was released in [[1997]]. The [[sequel]] to ''[[Cricket 96]]'', it was developed by [[Krome Studios Melbourne|Melbourne House]] (as Beam Software) and published by [[EA Sports]]. It was the final cricket game in the series to be developed by Melbourne House, EA Sports followed ''Cricket 97'' with ''[[Cricket World Cup 99]]'', developed by [[Creative Assembly]] Compared to the previous game, the improvement in graphics continued with three-dimensional stadiums (though players remained rendered as sprites). Cricketing legends [[Ritchie Benaud]] and [[Ian Botham]] for the first time provided commentary and also featured in [[full motion video]] interludes. The game did not feature real player names as with previous games in the series (with real Australian and English sides appearing for the first time in the game's successor, Ashes Tour Edition). ==Ashes Tour Edition== A re-release of the game entitled the '''''Ashes Tour Edition''''' featured the English and Australian tour squads for the [[Australian cricket team in England in 1997|1997]] [[The Ashes|Ashes series]]. ==New Zealand Team Disc== Following the Ashes Tour Edition an update disc was released to include the New Zealand Cricket Team. This disc included official players, portraits and statistics from the New Zealand side at the time. This was intended to make Cricket 97 the most realistic cricket game on the market at the time. ==Cricket Ashes Tour== Another re-release of Cricket 97 followed later with the release of '''''Cricket Ashes Tour''''', with updated stats and players from the 1998/99 Ashes tour. ==External links== *{{moby game|id=/cricket-97}} {{EA_Cricket_Series}}
