Tech Enabled: CNET chronicles tech's role in providing new kinds of accessibility. If you aren't familiar with cricket, now's a good time to take a swing at it, with Google's help. The human-size tournament, which pits eight teams against each other in a limited game format, is now underway in England and Wales. "We kept the file size fly-sized, and the result is our smallest interactive Doodle ever - even snail networks can load it in seconds." "We know that cricket is loved worldwide, so we wanted to make sure our Doodle works for everyone, including those on slower mobile networks," Google said in an introduction to the doodle. It's also a reference to the network speeds on which Google's game can be played. Instead of people playing on the field, the batsman is a cricket and the fielders are snails - which may be a reflection of the game's speed of play. To celebrate the tournament, Google has produced a doodle that doubles as a cricket game, with a twist. Yup, that distant cousin of baseball is in full swing too, as evidenced by the matches currently being played as part of the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, an international tournament second in importance only to the Cricket World Cup.
The opposing team consists of snails.As the summer days warm up, it's time to grab the ol' bat and ball and head for the cricket field. You can play cricket using the avatar of the insect cricket. When you visit the Google homepage, the ‘G’ can be seen batting while wearing a chef’s hat and the word ‘e’ can be seen bowling.
On April 28, Google reintroduced the cricket Doodle that was first showcased in 2017 during the ICC Champions Trophy. In light of this, we’re launching a throwback Doodle series looking back at some of our popular interactive Google Doodle games,” said Google. “As COVID-19 continues to impact communities around the world, people and families everywhere are spending more time at home. It will bring back 10 of its popular interactive Google Doodle games. Over the years, Google has launched several minigames as Doodles on its homepage to mark big occasions. To help people pass time, Google announced a throwback Doodle series that will showcase a Doodle everyday over the next two weeks under the ‘Stay and Play at home’ tagline. The world is currently fighting the Coronavirus pandemic and many people have been stuck at home for over a month.
