(Brian) Lara gets them out News

PC PlayStation 2 Xbox
News by Ellie Gibson

22 July, 2005

Codemasters has revealed that tit-loving cricket fans were very nearly in for an extra treat with Brian Lara International Cricket, thanks to the actions of one cheeky artist who's a big fan of glamour model Lauren Pope.

He used his programming skills to put Lauren in the game as a streaker - so as Brian stepped up to bat you could see her running out onto the pitch, baring her pouting globes for all the world to see.

But, sadly, Codies discovered the artist's antics at the last minute and removed Lauren and her bits from the game - replacing them with the iconic image of a male streaker jumping over the stumps during an England test match.

However, they were kind enough to send us some screenshots taken before Lauren was replaced, along with some lovely pictures of her modelling cricket gear and fingering some stumps.

"I'm flattered!" Lauren said. "I love the fact that a fan of mine wanted me in the game, but I'm much too shy to consider streaking for real!" Not too shy to get 'em out in national newspapers though, happily.

Brian Lara International Cricket is out now on PC, PS2 and Xbox.

If this doesn't make cricket fun then nothing will.

Must be a talented guy to fully model, animate, texture, and program this in to the game, especially behind peoples backs *rolls eyes*

I find it both ironic and interesting that you can tell whether an article is by Ellie from the oversexed pull on the Eurogamer index.

Yes Brian Lara is much better than the EA effort. I played both over the weekend and I agree with EG that EA Cricket 2005 is pretty rubbish, where as Brian Lara is probably the best cricket game I've ever played.

I mean I've played a few matches in it now and taken wickets and scored runs in pretty much every way imaginable, and been on the receiving end as well. I think this indicates that the game seems to have the right qualities. Its also fun to play as like cricket its always a bit of a game of chess between the fielding and batting teams.

Its early days yet, but at the moment I'm impressed.
