Test Match Cricket - The Authentic All Action Cricket Game For 2 Players

Very impressed bought this gift as a birthday present for my manager/friend 37 year old male! I was a little concerned he may have thought this very childish but he absolutely loved it! My mum bought One for my nephews Christmas presents but my brother and his father in law were the ones who played it. (Wouldn’t let the kids play haha) So if you are concerned it may be childish it’s not for people of all ages as a say 37 year old male loved it and a 45 year old male and 70+ Male loved this game! 12 year old boy did when the adults let him play 😂! Fun for all ages a sort of subbuto for cricket very retro takes you back in time. Also I was too tight to pay for delivery for my boss but it came early so came on his birthday Very impressed well worth the money

My son loved this for Christmas. Worth the money. My father in law passed away a few years earlier in the same house and we were playing with it on Christmas Day with our young son having a laugh. My son bowled and a sound of a ball being dropped came from the room above and bounced across the floorboards. Checked upstairs and nothing, no ball. We all definitely heard it. So how’s that for a recommendation from beyond the grave. Don’t be spooked. We were glad he joined in on Christmas Day I’ll never forget it and feel it was a happy moment.

Great table top game - a real blast from the past. Major difference from the original game is that the bowling is different - ball is now 'thrown' rather than rolled and is much more difficult and problematic for it. The boundary is now a rope that velcros down and the ball will go over and roll onto the floor and can easily get lost. The original version had plastic strips that fully held the ball in play. Both these do make this lesser and not as good as the original - but still fun nonetheless.

Absolutely brilliant! A Christmas present for my son and he’s loved it - and so have I! 😁We’ve been playing every day. It’s expensive - maybe it should be a bit cheaper - but I had this game as a kid and my son is now enjoying it as much as I did. I’m so glad we bought this - it’s a wonderful family game. And HUGE thanks to the sellers, Best Price Trading. The base was missing on one of the fielders. I phoned them up and a replacement arrived the next day - fantastic, polite and super quick customer service. Thank you!

Great game and fantastic customer service. Contacted twice for support and both times replied promptly. Very happy 6 year old.

Having had the original “test match” game over thirty years ago and spent so many enjoyable hours playing it, I was thrilled to see it on sale again and couldn’t wait to play it again with my son. Unfortunately, the bowling and batting mechanisms have been changed hugely. The batter - no longer controlled with a string - has almost no backswing and can’t generate any power to stroke the ball. The bowler - now has a catapault delivery action rather than a long chute - is hugely inconsistent and sends down ball either too fast or bouncing too hard. The joy of the original game was consistent rolled deliveries and a batsman to at could strike the ball and generate some power. This new version is so bad that after three nights attempting to player it, it is now back in the box I would love to know why they have gone away from tried and tested batting and bowling designs. These new ones simply don’t work! A once great game totally destroyed. What a shame!

Test Match has changed since I was a kid! But it has made it more interesting. The usual problem of kinks in the mat after it first comes out of the box means you'll have to do a little bit of flattening work before playing (unless you prefer the randomness this brings!) The edges are roped as opposed to the old versions of rigid plastic. Quality plastic has been used so the players look somewhat more realistic than the one I remember. All in all - it's brought back memories and now the kids are sharing in the fun.

Great game although I've played the older version where the bowler was a different design and I think that is a lot better then the current one The seller was fast and efficient
