HAHA ,

i havent played cricket 2005 but i quite like the new brian lara game what do you think is better

I don't play any of those games, my brother does.

Brian lLara criket or Ricky Ponting as they call it here in Aust. has some better features, Cricket 2005 not bad at all

is that how easy it is or are you just good

are you abel to genarate an inning if you cant be bothered to bowl because you cant in BLC and i cant be bothered to bowl in test matches

you cant do that in BLC and it takes the mick trying to get them out they play so slow.

Hey... these cricket games ... does anyone know if they are available in the states ? or jus Uk and Aus...etc..

If so... does anyone know if EA makes their 2005 game available for a PS2 or Xbox?

or even this Brian Lara cricket .. which ive never heard of... fill me in "mates" . << hope i used it rite !

brian lara international cricket 2005 was ranked 1. the first ever cricket game to be ranked 1. i have played both. brian lara is much better. the graphics r way better.

They'll be wrong as they don't have the official license from the ICC so they aren't allowed to have the real names in.

whats wrong with cricket 2005?

I've got ICC 2005 and it is alright - a few annoying flaws that have been present since the first ever version but overall enjoyable enough. It's also been nice getting the likes of Ponting and Tendulkar as overseas pros for Leicestershire too!

I played demos of both Cricket 2005 and Lara 2005 and thought both were dreadful.

I've become ridiculously addicted to this game, even though as Clobber says, there are a few flaws but those aside, it is very good. I don't have the time to play out every game, so I prefer to play as a 'selector' and let the boys do the work on the pitch so I tend to whip through the seasons.

Started a game with Somerset (with a data update) but managed to get relegated from both divisions mainly thanks to Trescothick being unavailable and Jayasuriya being rubbish. As I get the hang of the game, we're improving steadily, although with no money to buy overseas (or domestic) stars I'm relying on the youth to pull me through.

Also started a game with the West Indies, had some disastrous results to start with but they're beginning to pick up now, highlights have included a 2-1 ODI series win over Australia and a 2-1 Test win over India.

I've really got bored of BLC.  Mind you i di play it day and night (in between work of course) got to a point where i couldn't reaaly win anything else so i passed the game on to my nephew.  He thinks it's boring!!!
