Key takeaways

Cricket 07 can now be played in a web browser with an online 1v1 mode.

The browser version is hosted at cricket07.dhaiwat.com and was created by developer Dhaiwat.

First-time visitors download about 1.2 GB of files, stored for later sessions.

Players may select server regions like Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, or North America and set input delay between 67 ms and 300 ms.

The game supports keyboard controls and controllers, though the developer has not personally tested controller use.

EA Sports' Cricket 07, originally released in November 2006, is now accessible directly through a web browser and includes an online multiplayer feature that lets two friends face off from separate locations.

The browser version was created by developer Dhaiwat, who posted it on X on Tuesday, stating, "Cricket 07 with an online multiplayer mode. Play with your friends. All you need is a web browser."

How Online Matches Work

The game operates at cricket07.dhaiwat.com. Users may choose "Play Solo" for offline computer play or controller use on the same device, or select "Play Multiplayer" for a 1v1 online match.

To begin an online game, one participant hosts a session and receives a room code to share. The opponent can enter this code or follow an invite link provided by the host.

Players can also set a server region, options include Asia-Pacific, Southeast Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and North America. The site advises picking a region that lies between the two players if they are in different countries. Input delay may be adjusted from 67 ms to 300 ms or left on auto.

Large Download on First Visit

During the initial visit, roughly 1.2 GB of game files are downloaded and stored in the browser for future sessions.

Dhaiwat recommends using Google Chrome for those encountering download issues, noting that Safari performs poorly with the port. The project mirrors a similar test where GTA V ran in Chrome without cloud gaming or installation.

Keyboard and Controller Support

The title can be played via keyboard or controller. On a keyboard, arrow keys aim shots, S triggers a normal shot or stock delivery, Shift executes a lofted shot, D runs, and Alt + Enter toggles full screen.

Dhaiwat mentioned controller compatibility, though he has not tested it personally. One user responded that a short match using a controller worked fine.

A 2006 Classic

Cricket 07 was developed by HB Studios and EA Canada and published by EA Sports for Windows and PlayStation 2 in November 2006. The website credits EA Sports with the original copyright and attributes the browser port to Dhaiwat.

Subsequent cricket titles have emerged from other developers, such as Cricket 24, which was slated to feature official Pakistan and PSL teams.
