WCC 2

If you are looking for a more serious cricketing mobile game, then World Cricket Championship 2 has to be the one for you.

The fact it’s been downloaded more than 50 million times makes it the undisputed number one mobile cricket game out there, and it’s easy to see why.

For 16 years, between 1989-2005, the Ashes remained in Australia’s keeping, until this moment, captured by @MarcAspland, on September 12th, 2005, when they changed hands at last, writes @Athersmike https://t.co/4FZaGvWDmh pic.twitter.com/clIi9TDwYL
