How West Indian pitches play in the game
Build your own eleven in the maroon of the West Indies and take them out against anyone in the world. The game runs in any browser on a laptop or a phone, so it works in Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, Guyana, Antigua or anywhere the diaspora has ended up - London, Toronto, New York - with nothing to install. Big hitters are welcome: a lofted stroke timed well goes a long way, and a mistimed one gets caught in the deep, as it should.
The home ground you choose decides the surface. West Indies is an even surface where pace and spin both get something and good batting gets runs. Play away in another country and the pitch changes with it, so a side built for Sabina Park has to think again at the MCG or at Galle.
CPL cricket game? Here is the honest answer
People in West Indies search for “cpl cricket game” a lot, so to be clear: Howzat Live has no licence from the Caribbean Premier League and uses no franchise names or player likenesses. What you get instead is your own team. Name all eleven, decide who bats left-handed, who bowls pace and who bowls spin, who keeps wicket, and send them out in West Indies’s colours. Your names go on the scoreboard, the scorecard and the commentary line — c †Rashid b Waqar — and you can save up to twelve teams.
Live, against a real person
One bats, one bowls, the server times every ball so you both see the same delivery. Talk between overs. Quick Match pairs you in seconds.
Laptop, PC or phone
Keyboard on a laptop; swipe and tap on a phone turned sideways. A phone player and a laptop player can face each other in the same match.

When West Indian players are online
Caribbean evenings are late night in London and morning in Australia, so the lobby leans towards North America and the UK at your prime time, with Quick Match pairing you with whoever is waiting. If nobody is free, play the computer: it picks its own field, bowls to a plan, and on a balanced deck mixes pace and spin.

Questions West Indian players ask
Can I play as the West Indies in this cricket game?
Yes. Choose the maroon West Indies kit, name your own eleven players and pick a flag from Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Guyana, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Lucia or any other country to sit beside your name.
Is this a CPL cricket game?
No. Howzat Live has no CPL licence and no franchise names. It is a free 3D cricket game where you build your own team in West Indies maroon and play live against real people, or the computer, in short matches or a full Test.
Does the cricket game work in the Caribbean on a phone?
Yes. It runs in the phone's browser with nothing to install, on Android or iPhone, and on any laptop. It is free.
Is Howzat Live a live cricket game?
Yes - live in the sense that matters for a game: every 1v1 match is played in real time against another person, one batting and one bowling, with the server timing each ball so you both see the same delivery at the same moment. It is not a live-scores site; it is a cricket game you play.
Is this a real 3D cricket game, not a stick-cricket style one?
It is a full 3D cricket game: a bowler with a run-up, a ball that swings, seams or turns off the pitch, a batter you time and direct, eleven fielders who chase, dive and take catches, DRS with ball tracking in Tests, and a crowd. It renders in the browser, so there is nothing to download.
