Using your patch, I am currently playing a world championship. I am playing for India and am in the process of playing my first match against Sri Lanka. I haven't had a chance to bowl yet. I always used to choose batting first, because I always could win by restricting the opposition. I followed the same pattern and am batting right now.
My score currently stands at 249/7 after 35 overs on a dusty pitch. Even though my run-rate is quite all right, I did find timing quite difficult. I have been lucky with some of my mis-timed shots going for fours. With others I have gotten out

. The good score is primarily due to Dravid's century. He is still not out.
All in all, it has been a pretty good gaming experience using your patch. Previously, I used to get out mostly when I tried to accelerate. Now, even when I am trying to save my wickets, I end up losing some. I am specifically finding it difficult when trying a leg-glance. Hopefully, the CPU can beat my score.
Thanx for the incredible effort that you put in tweaking Cricket 2004.
One question: If I go practice, will the swing of the bowlers be same as playing in a one-dayer depending on the level of difficulty that I set ?
