UK Sports Fans – Forget the Misery and Live the Ashes Dream!

Added: (Wed Sep 21 2005)

Pressbox (Press Release) - Despite Alan Shearer’s claims that football will get exciting again goals in the Premiership are dropping in number and the country seems to be at odds as to whether or not winning the Olympics is a good thing. It is becoming clear that after the euphoria of the Ashes the UK is under a bit of a cloud when it comes to sport.

Now though, Advergamer are giving people the chance to re-live this summer’s greatest moment by taking control of Vaughan’s hero’s and smashing the Aussies all over the place - totally free and online.

Wannabe cricketers can log onto www.stickcricket.com and play the game that is the surprise hit of the summer. The game is so easy to use it has become the enemy of all managers as office workers across the globe unite to play each other in private leagues.

As England and Australia went at it head to head on the field 7 million games took place between payers from each country online and in a repeat of the actual Ashes series, England won the battle 3-2.

Chris Berry, one of the games owners commented, “We now have the situation where there is a real Ashes hangover in the UK, and the Stickcricket site has around 100,000 visitors a day who are getting their cricket fix from playing the game online. We know from feedback via the site that people want to play real cricket in the UK and at the minute the only chance they get is from playing an online version rather than doing the real thing. What we are looking to do next is translate the success of the website into people playing 'REAL' cricket regularly, with indoor games being arranged initially in London and then across the whole of the UK”.
