The idea is dumb as hell and thus straight-up amazing

Indeed. Worth it for Zombie Ricky Ponting alone. I don't get who the two tall zombies are who aren't Crocodile Dundee or Dame Edna though.

That is way too much fun. Too bad you can't switch it up and kill some English zombies, though.

Being a Yank, I thought there would be some kind of tiny, zombified insect, chirping its way into brain-burrowing malfeasance .... but this was okay too, even if I didnt get any of the sport references.

The other big zombies are Kylie and Russell Crowe. Thank you\damn you for this, I spent far too long trying to beat it.

Howzat? The missus just bought a cricket bat that shipped from Pakistan. Customs opened the package to inspect it. We might be on some DHS list now, but at least we're zombie-ready.

It's like a classier, funnier european version of Zombie Baseball.

This is phenomenal. It's been nothing but World 20 20 cricket in the house all week, so I'm happy I finally get to play, too.
