Don Bradman should appear regularly on GB's videos. Either to nod or shake his head when the Bombcrews say something.

Oh, and in case someone hasn't explained it yet: If you get out without scoring any runs, it's called a duck, and is signified with an actual image of a duck (cartoon or otherwise); if you get out on your first ball faced, it's a golden duck.

@stevemax: Bloody oath it was. I was actually in bed and just thought I'd grab the iPad to check in on Giant Bomb before going to sleep; I'm so hopped up after that I think I'll be up for a little while longer now.

The next Madden game needs to have the same title screen but with virtual John Madden.

You can tell the defeat in Danny's voice where all the funny European jokes have started to loop around for the millionth time.

This game actually looks good, unlike the Ashes Cricket game that came out last year.

I love that somehow KFCs domination of cricket advertising has even managed to make it's way in to this game. Also, as someone who understands cricket, watching this was so very painful, but so very funny. Jeff having no idea how the hitting was working, Dan not realising he has to place the ball, and that he can move where it bounces, brilliant. It oddly got my patriotic side going when they were making fun of cricket though, which is odd, seeing as how I find it really boring (kinda like baseball), and how this is easily the most entertaining that cricket has ever been.

A baseball fan like Jeff making fun of cricket is amusing in the same way as a Fox News anchor making fun of other Western countries health care systems.

If only they could get someone who actually understood cricket, and would explain to Jeff why he is swinging wrong (trying to hit on the off-side for an on-side ball) this QL would not be so frustrating. I know ppl are enjoying this, but I can only watch so many deliveries without anything actually happening.

In case anyone actually cares, the reason cricket bowlers take a run-up is that they're not allowed to bend their arm when delivering the ball. That's the difference between bowling and pitching (or just throwing). And it's also pretty much the full extent of my knowledge of cricket.

Dan was hired solely to be a laugh track for Jeff.

Those two alone make me ponder video of the year, or even the entire site, although I might still feel the title belongs to Euro Truck Simulator 2.

As an American I can say this on good authority "I have no fucking idea what is going on with this damn game". But I sure laughed my ass off at this quick look. Danny can you please make a "How to play Cricket" instructional video for us Americans, that would be great thanks...

The only thing I know about cricket is that I used to play it in primary school when I lived in Australia and I don't know if anyone knew what they were doing.

Wickets? Oh you mean the sticks.

GEORGE: Fine. Steal the battery. Now, all right, here is the Frogger. This is the front door, and this is the outlet.

SLIPPERY PETE: What's that?

GEORGE: The outlet?

SLIPPERY PETE: Mm-hmm.

GEORGE: That's where the electricity comes out.
