Ball physics = cosmetics from where I sit.

I understand that, but what else can people comment on after viewing a video preview than cosmetics? Videos are released and comments are encouraged so obviously cosmetics are going to get some air time in these threads. We can't really comment on the gameplay as we aren't playing it; we're just...

My only real criticism here is the footwork of the batsmen when hitting straight, really. The bowling looks fine (especially once you taken into consideration that a lot of the balls were slower balls) and the cover drive animation looks great as well, but I feel the batsmen just get a bit too...

Or just go to cricsim.com. :p

And he was dire, actually. He got one score of about 40 odd and failed the rest of the team. He did not do well by any stretch.

ODI cricket is not the correct medium for that though. Evidently though, he is a skillfull one day player as can be judged by his List A performances in the last two seasons.

I never said he didn't have the application - in fact I said I was in favour of his selection. However, I am not in favour of it because "he's talented" because while it may be true in a general sense, it often amounts to naught. The fact of the matter is, if he still averaged 25 odd in List A...

Or maybe we need to ask if Prior opening the batting is a good idea, given how poor he was in that role last time around. Bell's best ODI performances have come right at the top of the order, and Prior as a finisher would offer a lot more than Bell IMO, while the likes of Trott would be wasted...

You could have said the same thing about Vaughan many years ago though, is the point. I agree with Cook's selection, but not on the basis of "Oh he's talented, he'll learn" but on the basis of him improving his one day batting significantly over the last few seasons. Pretty much everyone who...

Dire.

The theory behind this post is a good'un - that being, selecting players who know how to play one day cricket when picking the *shock horror* one day team. However I think you are being harsh on Cook - and you need to look past his overall statistics. He has improved immensely as a batsman...

I think you'll find that a lot of people predicted a loss against the minnows before Pakistan even played the West Indies. In fact, I actually have less confidence in Ireland beating Pakistan than I did before I saw the West Indies game - Pakistan bowled much better than I predicted. If the...

Actually, that's not the case. The tie is the best possible result for the hope of Pakistan missing out on the Super 8s. If Pakistan lose either game now, they'll miss out regardless. If Zimbabwe had won this game and Ireland had beaten Pakistan, for example, Pakistan would probably still go...

Their bowlers look quite good IMO. They just need to get some more consistency into their top order batting.

Watson. Despite a one-off century, Symonds's batting will never be up to test level, and it's quite obvious his bowling isn't. Watson has a superb technique and averages nigh on 50 in first class cricket with the bat - his batting style is equipped to handle the best bowlers in any conditions as...

You can't get it sorted really - it's not the responsibility of the ICC to fix the political issues of its test playing nations. If they can't field a decent side and don't look like doing so in the foreseeable future, they shouldn't be playing test cricket. This certainly applies to Zimbabwe...

Bangaldesh have improved significantly in recent times, and they are infinitely better than Kenya at this stage. In saying that, given the time, support, infrastructure, stability and opportunities Bangladesh have been given, I'm of the opinion that Kenya would be at a higher level of aptitude...

There is no save game option between overs in the XBOX version, but it is there on the other platforms.

Im sure everyone understood us the first two times. It wasnt complicated at all.

Exactly. It would solve the problem of what seems to be very inaccurate starting XIs.
