Story Ashes Test Series

Phew!

And the First Test finishes with an overwhelming win by the Aussies in less than 3 days. Man of the Match is of course Shane Warne for his great bowling performance.

Hoping for a closer (and longer) match in the Second Test in Adelaide.

 

[m_vaughan]

Thats a comprehensive win. If it continues like this you'll be sick and bored with cricket 2004.

I hear ya...considering the pitch was normal, a non-turner and still a spinner takes a bag of 6, next test i will use savtweak to change things up a bit.

I have confidence in the patchmakers though...one day they will release a near-flawless patch making this game fair and square for both cpu and human...I live in hope anyway...

While on that subject, a big thanx to the patch/graphics makers on this site and cricket2004.co.uk, at least you guys are attempting to make a better game, thats more than can be said for Electronic Arts

Cheers guys

Playing the tests try Radgas v5.

I took a tumble using Bangladesh I was bowled out for 180. After scoring 480 or more in the ODI using v4.

Its well worth a look.

I am pretty happy with the patches available. I still havent mastered some of them.

Radagas v5 is well worth the battle though.

 

[waugh machine]

ok will give it a go :cool:

Ok the Second Test - Adelaide Oval

England Win the toss and elect to bat first.

Pitch: Normal

(Fraps has been playing up something awful so please bear with the limited screens I have able to get)...

The First Day so far...

As you can see the pics of dismissals may not be in order, I'm sorry this is a ****-poor presentation...

Also I made the error of opening the bowling with Cameron White, (a legspinner) but in the following screens you will see that it wasn't that bad a mistake...

After 20 overs England were in deep poop at 4 for 36...

Enter ANDREW FLINTOFF...

 

[waugh machine]

A great swashbuckling innings by Flintoff gives England something to bowl at, I really enjoyed bowling to him because it was a real challenge trying to get him out. What a Test debut for White - 7 for 51, perhaps I should open the bowling with him more often? :

 

[madmattg]

Are you using Radaga v5?

 

[madmattg]

If so and bowling is still to easy, you may have to look at autosim

The pictures look good pitty about the order.

Kidding. They are awsome.
