Celebrating the ICC Champions Trophy 2017

Celebrating the ICC Champions Trophy 2017.

13.06.2017-Tuesday-செவ்வாய்-Google's Doodles.

Ah, summer: the sound of leather on willow, and the spectacle of cricket ... cricket! As the tournament begins in the Oval cricket ground, something buzzes outside. A team of crickets sans tickets have set up their own wickets for a game of pest cricket! As they face their archrivals, the snails, it’s sure to be a match for the centuries. Don’t be fooled by their sluggish looks — these fielders can be fast on their feet!

To celebrate the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, I inviting everyone to tap/click and take a swing at my pocket-size game!

I know that cricket is loved worldwide, so I wanted to make sure some Doodle works for everyone, including those on slower mobile networks. I kept the file size fly-sized, and the result is my smallest interactive Doodle ever — even snail networks can load it in seconds.

Whether you're enjoying the tournament at a snail’s pace or bowling faster than the beat of a hummingbird's wings, here's hoping you hit it out of the park this summer!
