Step up to the crease and smash boundaries in the ultimate timing game!
Doodle Cricket is a celebrated browser-based sports game originally created by Google in 2017 to commemorate the ICC Champions Trophy. Built with lightweight, high-performance HTML5 canvas, the game features a charming match between insects (represented by you as the batsman grasshopper) and snails (the fielders and bowlers).
Our editorial review team extensively tested the game across desktop, Android, and iOS devices. With a single-tap batting system, it is simple to learn but challenging to master. The bowling speed increases dynamically as you score more runs, and snail fielders perform acrobatic catches to get you out. It remains one of the most played unblocked school games worldwide.
The snail bowler runs up and delivers the ball. Follow the line of the ball closely as it travels down the green turf pitch.
Wait for the ball to enter the yellow strike circle right in front of the grasshopper batsman. Click or tap to swing the bat.
Perfect timing will launch the ball over the fence for a 4 or a massive 6. Swing too early or late and you get clean bowled!
Ignore the bowler's initial release. Fix your eyes on the turf bounce area — this is where you judge the timing of your swing.
The bat's "tock" sound is synced with the ideal hitting window. Using audio cues significantly increases batting precision.
