The Brian Lara Cricket Demo - 27 Mb from the official Brian Lara Cricket site. On a 33.6K modem this will take about 2-3 hours to download dependent on traffic and other Internet applications you may be running. If you download the demo please me your feedback of it. This is a new demo and will work without a 3D card. Take charge of West Indies in a one day international against South Africa. Require 30 runs to win with 3 wickets left, Lara is still at the crease.

Note: If you get an error when installing the demo that says missing DLL, that is due to your graphics drivers not having OpenGL and Glide support installed and not the demo. Make sure you install the latest version of your graphics card drivers (visit the card manufacturers web site to confirm latest versions) that include OpenGL and Glide support. There are apparently some problems with running the demo on some Banshee cards.
