I know; I also didn't realise that the concept of supermarkets had arrived in Basildon yet!

Thankfully we don't have to 'go into' town so forgo that particular dilemma... I see you have a Saltire does this mean you are still unaware of the concept of vegetables... ?

From being stuck on 7-10 year old games to a game that nearly perfected Cricket's most important aspects in it's first try(DBC 14) and now motion capture of top international cricketers.. I can't ask for more. It's a dream I don't want to wake up from.

Agree, not perfect but a huge leap in terms of gameplay. Ashes looks and sounds very promising though, can't wait since I held back buying DBC 17 after this was announced.

Couldn't find anything new except articles today which I try to update regularly in the first post, let's see what tomorrow brings.

Well November isn't far away plus we will be seeing some Gameplay videos and pics etc so time will fly by hopefully.

Who would you want as commentators for Ashes Cricket? If I could choose I would have Atherton, Holding, and Bumble (with Slater as the potentially already confirmed fourth).

Personally, I don't think any sports game can get the commentary right! Even EA sports can't get it right with Fifa, a franchise that has been there since ages and with loads and loads of funds!

Is commentary that important... ? Why don't we 'not bother' and have authentic crowd sounds (regional) and player sounds from the middle we could have some sledging? These are afterall supposed to be authentic sports games so why not do away with commentary and get in the game than the TV broadcast... Just a different angle.

I think this would be far better approach and probably easier to implement

However for the casual fan, probably some form of commentary is expected as standard so must be catered for?

Danny Morrison..... (would you expect any other answer from me>>> ?). Okay only for T20 but yep Slats and Lloyd but I do agree with Holding possibly Atherton, Mitchel and then... Can't remember his name... ? But 'not' Mark Nicholas!!!
