Hi.
I've only recently started getting into 'real' cricket, and picked up a copy of Cricket 04 for the PS2 the other day (for 20p in a second-hand shop!!!). I am still learning (mainly as I know so little about the real game), but am really enjoying it so far.
I was thinking of getting the later '07 version, as that's also available quite cheap from play.com, but I've been reading some of the posts and reviews etc on this site and have got the impression that although the graphics look better in the PS2 '07 version, '04 is actually the better game - is that correct?
Also, I've been doing some practice in the nets, and playing a few innings with my native Hampshire, but am having a lot of trouble remembering which type of hit to play depending on where the bowl is pitched. Are there any resources which would help with this?
Cheers
