Atari have hooked us up with info regarding Ashes Cricket 2009, due for release on the Xbox 360, PS3, PC and yes, Nintendo Wii.

Providing gamers with the most authentic Ashes experience possible without having to don their whites, Ashes Cricket 2009 is fully licensed by Cricket Australia, the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) and the MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club, the world's most famous cricket club and owner of the Ashes urn), providing the game with all the official players, kit, stadia – including Lords and The Brit Oval – and equipment from this year's Ashes Series.

We have a few screenshots of the game up on our game page as well as more info, so check it out. Hopefully this is done some justice when it lands on Wii - could be awesome, or really crummy.

you said crummy.

WILL NEVER BE BETTER THAN BRIAN LARA CRICKET!

Could be a hit or miss :P

Hoping for 'Awesome' on the Wii.

wow those screenies better be the Wii screenies. Hopefully it plays better than it looks.

Why would they make ashes cricket, surely IPL cricket would be a better marketing name, I mean u can probably play t20 format in this game but I reckon t20 would market better.

I want to see a cricket game that takes full advantage of the new PS3 Motion controller.

Wii motion plus maybe?
