[QUOTE="MightyQuin, post: 28853"] I also picked this up the other day, and think it's great fun - brings back memories of the old PSX brian lara cricket game. Bowling and batting seem intuitive, with a nice 'confidence meter' for both attributes affecting the actual ball a bowler can throw down, and allegedly the shots a batsman can play. Beating the bat, dot balls, scoring boundaries, taking wickets, or hitting the batsman can constantly affect these confidence ratings. Its also obviously done by Swordfish - similar structure to WCRugby, e.g. Challenge matches (starting in black and white on a flickery old tv set - nice touch!), world XI challenge (beat with each team from Aus down), and player name editor. Its only international teams, but there are various events from ICC champions trophy, World Cup, and full test series, or user defined league. Theres also a fun "double wicket" mode, where you select just 2 players each, and a set number of overs. If a wicket falls you simply lose a number of runs from your total and bat on until the overs are up. when bowling you can only use the 2 players you chose, and then set the default fielding side. Good for a quick multiplayer tournament. Finally "career mode" - which is a bit less impressive than it sounds. You get to create a **** poor player and allocate him to a squad (very basic method - just enter a name a choose a head model!). Each time you use him in a match he gets experience points you can use to improve his batting or bowling stats. Hope this is of some interest for those still waiting for it - ask away if theres anything else you guys want to know. [/QUOTE]
