Brian Lara Cricket

Brian Lara Cricket is a cricket simulation developed and published by Codemasters, endorsed by West Indian batsman Brian Lara and serving as the sequel to Brian Lara Cricket ‘96.

This is the original UK release, dated 8 December 1998, and represents the first PAL appearance of the game. The single disc ships in a Full Jewel PAL case, with English as the sole supported language. The disc serial SLES-00759 underpins the entire UK lineage of this title and is preserved across the budget reissues that followed. EAN barcode 5024866240313 identifies this initial printing for cataloguing purposes, distinguishing it from the later No 1 Bestseller and Value Series editions that recycled the same disc inside revised outer packaging. A foundational pickup for anyone tracking the original PAL run of Codemasters’ late nineties cricket output.
