i your funny to

I was just continuing my England game, when I was looking at what other World Cup games were going on, when I came to the Pakistan V Zimbabwe scorecard, and I found Streak, Taibu and Vermuelen in the side. Talk about not being up to date!

On extended leave...

got a nice new guy on ashes edition and he averages 70 in his first 25 test matches with 11 centuries. His names Joseph Fanning so he should improve meaning he could become, if possible, even better than the first guy.

hey guys i am looking for the key so please can anybody send it to me in reply

He means he's copied/downloaded the game illegaly and can't get it to work.

Piracy will not be tolerated, condoned or advocated here.

good umpiring there jp LOL

contact the makers, don't post here about it

cheers

what's the best partnership that you've had

mine is 412 with V.Chopra and S.Stubbings

Stubbings-212*

Chopra- 145*

The best captains are thos who lead fresh, raw or under resourced teams and produce results... to me the following have been better than Ponting or Loyd..

1. Stephan Fleming

2. Mahela Jayawardena

3. Inzamam ul Haq (before the english tour last summer).

I once had a 264 run last wicket partnership for England, but then that was because I experimented by reversing the batting order.

Trescothick: 134

Strauss: 103

Extras: 27

How did your opening batsman (bowlers) go?

I wonder if they will try you plan out in real test cricket someday. I noticed today when I was loading the game again on the computer, there was this writing that says downloading 3rd umpire. This appeared when all the features are being downloaded onto the computer and the downloading bar is going across.

Has anyone ever seen the umpire call for the third umpire in the game?

It seems that every tom di�k & harry who has ever donned a pair of gloves is deemed to be a wicketkeeper with regard to his role in the team, i.e Strauss, Ponting & bizarrely, Lara??

Also, ive noticed i think that it doesnt make a blind bit of difference who is behind the stumps, whether down as a `keeper or not. There does not appear to be any increase in byes or leg byes, which would probably be the case in real life. Might as well have seven specialist batsmen....

I think therefore they should attack the fielding issue in general in future issues, especially with one day cricket nowadays having good fielding as a must.

Give good fielders and keepers a proper `value`, and the `occasional WKs`, i.e. Trescothick, a lesser one.

Constructive criticism, love the game..

Just wondering what tactics everyone uses, i never played the other games so i'm still finding my feet. I tend to use 4 bars when bowling at a new batsman, until he has faced about 30 balls then drop it down to 3 bars, then if they get past 50 runs i tend to drop it down to 2 bars to try to make them attack and get themselves out. I've not really had much luck with bowling on the off stump to people who prefer the leg side has anyone else?

with batting i usually stay on one bar till the meter is at 3 or 4 bars then on 2 bars till the meter is two from top and then i always leave it on 3 bars, but i sometimes struggle to make 400 runs in 130 overs that way so perhaps i'm not aggressive enough

And finally does anyone know if the grounds themselves make a dirrerence? ie. notts and lancashire good batting pitches and somerset good bowling. I'm playing as Somerset because of my previously mentioned problem with Nottinghams budget and my batting is not as good, but that could be beacause Nottingham has some good batting (especially David Hussey who was averaging 1600-1700 a season) and Somerset are not so good (despite buying Michael Hussey, although it's early days yet)

Any amazing tactics anyone cares to share?
