List of Stick Cricket versions

This page is a list of Stick Cricket versions.
Version 1
This version, which built the foundation for version 2 and was the first appearance of Stick Cricket ever, is extremely hard to find on the internet. It featured an English team from around the 2004 era.
Version 2
Version 2 appeared in 2 guises. There was the official version, which was on Mousebreaker, featuring 7 levels which you could play through as the England team. Another version, featuring a fictional Australian team, is also playable on FreeWorldGroup. This was the basis of the stick cricket world.
Version 3
Version 3 moved Stick Cricket to its current home, where it has its own site. It also featured the ability to play with 12 teams, though the USA were replaced with a fictional team. There have been minor updates since then, such as the inclusion of 3 different modes: the Knockout Tournament, based on the ICC Champions Trophy format; the all-star slog where you try to get as many runs as you can in 10 Overs; and the Practice Mode, where you could practice 10 overs against a certain type of bowling.
Version 3.1
Version 3.1 added the world domination version, where you play the world's 8 best teams, and receive a password for each of the teams a player beats. You play as a Stick All-Star Team, which contains some of the best players in cricket's history. Also updated were the teams, so they had the most recent players in, and the rankings in accordance with the official International Cricket Council One Day International ratings.
Version 3.2
Version 3.2 was released on 21st July, and added new graphics in the main, and a new Head2Head Ashes game for the duration of the Ashes, which features a different stadium - Lord's, a different ball (red with seam) and different bowling actions to version 3.1. In general Version 3.2 added new graphics, including new balls where you can see the seam, and a new stadium. It also added new features around the site, such as office leagues, where there are some general leagues, and you can set up your own as well.
Version 4
The new version of Head2Head is based upon the ICC Cricket World Cup where people can join in to current matches and help their team win the Tournament.
Version 4.1
Version 4 contains live commentary for international matches (from The Twelfth Man), a new form of Stick Cricket called "Club Challenge," a gallery where visitors to the site can upload photos and other new features for the users and the game.
Version 5
The newest version was released on the 12th March 2007 and allows you to create your own Stick Cricket team, play in the World cup 2007 Super 8 Stage & play as the following new teams:
Bermuda, Scotland, Ireland, Netherlands, Canada and your own created team. You can also play with left-handers. Due to the death of Bob Woolmer the team representatives were all portrayed in a sombre mood with a black armband around their left arm until the 7th of April, 20 days after the death of Bob Woolmer.
Later on they replaced it with the T2 Super 8's. Which only had 2 overs a game. It launched around the same time as the Twenty20 world cup took place.
Also it is up to date with the latest ICC ODI rankings and there are now four different amounts of overs to play. These are: 5 overs, 10 overs, 20 overs and 50 overs. Note: In a 50 overs slog match registered members can save progress at intervals of 10 overs.
Version 6
Version 6 is very similar to version 5. The same teams are included but the Head2Head feature returned. The biggest change was the addition of a multiplayer mode.
Version 7
Version 7 was released April 18, and The World Domination returned, the forum moved to the stick cricket site and a new Indian Premier League game was released. The website was also totally redesigned. It is also now in widescreen.
