The 24 games of Christmas! Day #3: Cricket 24

2 mins read

It’s that time of year again! We’re counting down the days to Christmas with our own little “advent calendar” – one new game to play over the holiday season each and every day.

As the year winds down, things get really busy. We’ve got Christmas parties to attend, the end of year rush on work, and all the rest of it. But it’s also a time where we take holidays, find a moment to relax, and enjoy the company of others. This is the best chance to catch up on some key games that you might have missed from the year… or just play that multiplayer game that you’ve been waiting to get a crew together for.

Day 3: Cricket 24

Read our review here.

Elsewhere in the world, Christmas means winter. It means snow, and cold, and sitting around a fire staying warm with family and friends. In Australia, though, it means the hottest of summer weather, and that means cricket.

In fact, one of the biggest cricket matches of all takes place on boxing day, when the whole country has a day off and very little else to do. And that is why the sport is so closely related to the season here. So! For the rest of the world: we spend so much time every year hearing about and sharing the white Christmas trope. Why not use this as an opportunity to enjoy a bit of the Aussie Christmas as well?
