This summer, 505 games will put gamers in control of the ultimate rivalry in Test cricket with Ashes Cricket 2013.

Whether playing on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U or PC, Ashes Cricket 2013 promises to deliver dynamic gameplay that adds variety to each match. Players will have to adapt to varying and altering pitches; whether it’s a green seaming wicket or deteriorating fifth day pitch susceptible to spin and bounce.
