Shane Warne Cricket

Brian Lara Cricket is a cricket simulation developed and published by Codemasters, endorsed by West Indian batsman Brian Lara. The Australian and New Zealand markets are particularly noteworthy here, as the title was originally launched in those territories rebadged as Shane Warne Cricket ‘99.

This is the Australian Original pressing, dated 22 November 2000, shipping as a single-disc release in a Full Jewel PAL case with English as the sole supported language. Disc serial SLES-01576 is unique to the Australian market, separate from the UK lineage on SLES-00759 which produced the original, No 1 Bestseller, and Value Series printings. EAN barcode 9312544046590 is the principal cataloguing identifier and follows Australia’s distinctive 9-3-prefix EAN-13 numbering. A worthwhile pickup for collectors specifically tracking Australian PAL pressings, as titles originally branded for ANZ markets often differ in cover art and inlay treatment from their UK siblings.
