You still with me ;-)

I learned the rules to and terminology of (American) football by playing football video games (mostly nfl2k1 on the Dreamcast). Similar story for ice hockey.
What’s the video game to play to understand cricket?

Let’s be clear here. If the ball is bowled and strikes the stumps and dislodges a bail, that is “bowled out”. If the batsman contacts the ball but it still hits the stumps and dislodges a bail,that is “played on“. If the batsman in playing the ball dislodges a bail, that is “hit wicket”.
