Menus and input focus
Click inside the Cricket 07 browser canvas once before pressing keys. Unlike console-only emulators, the PC build of Cricket 07 also supports mouse cursor navigation on menu screens. If a key stops responding after you open a guide or switch tabs, click the game picture again to restore browser focus.
Using the Century Stick on a keyboard
In Cricket 07, the Century Stick lets batters play expressive drives, flicks, cuts, and pulls based on footwork and directional input. When playing Cricket 07 in the browser with a keyboard, hold Shift and press the Arrow Keys to trigger Century Stick strokes, or combine Arrow Keys with S (front foot), W (back foot), and A (lofted).
Connecting a USB or Bluetooth controller
The Cricket 07 browser runtime reads standard controllers through the HTML5 Gamepad API. Connect your Xbox, PlayStation, or PC gamepad before starting a match, click the game canvas, and press a button so the browser registers the device.
