ppl ppl bowl a fine line; like short of length, and swing the ball; got two wicket so far, been enjoying the game so far played twice. But I think the wide needs to be sorted out especially in one dayers.

Well at least we will be able to get more of a feel for the game,unlike ck2005(3 overs!Thats ridiculous!).

EA could have made a 6 overs per side demo but it would have been 899 MB in size. And I am not a EA supporter FYI.

The fielder will run and pick up the ball AUTOMATICALLY. You have to press 2 when the meter is on the line to throw it.

Sounds impressive! You lost even after you find all these controls easy?? I am not getting the hang of the bowling at all. And can you tell me if the fielding in the demo is manual? I am playing the PC version!

Here is another cool screenshot! The graphics are brilliant!

The demo does not have crowd animation?? I wanted to see whether the spectators in the crowd start to jump before the ball crosses the boundary.

I think sooner or later the bowling will be mastered (we will learn the tricks) and then one will be able to get side out for less than 100 in any form of cricket. That would really suck! Hope I am wrong in this.

Can someone switch "ON" the crowd option if it is possible to do so and then post a screenshot?? I just want to see if the crowd starts jumping before the ball crosses the boundary.

I dont get any meter at all.

I have a problem. I have configured the controls to match my keyboard. But I do not have a Numpad on my laptop. Just my keyboard with the usual number keys. How do you play with the manual fielding?

AA smooths out the jagged edges we say on the stumps or on the stands.
You need a good graphics card/pc to run it smoothly or else it slows down your performence.
Oh the crowd animation is excellent, it's better then any of the footy games, game has grown on me but it's still far too arcadey.
I liked cricket 2004 by EA where u had a choice to play back or forward shots, they are non exsistent in BLCI.

Sai, the best thing to do is to buy a cheap $5-$10 keyboard and then connect it to the laptop and play. Just a suggestion.

One of features which i think sounds good is the ability to move the batsmen till the very end (till the bowler releases the ball). Can anyone share their experience regarding this??

Or do you think it would be a better idea to use my USB Gamepad? I have one which I bought for Cricket 2004!

Anyways, it seems I had the Crowd animations off. Here is a screenshot with them on! It has Gilchrist smashing a six off a very short ball!

Sai does your game runs smoot and fine. Cause in my PC it runs slow. I mean whenevr a abtsmen hits a shot. It slows in the middle then runs up fast the slows again and all.

 

[SaiSrini]

No, that doesnt happen for me at all.

For me, one problem occurs - whenever a fielder from my team gets a catch, he drops it. Is something wrong with my fielding controls? I am at a loss on how to correct it. If its because I do not have Numpad on my laptop, then I cant buy this game at all coz my PC is too low for this game!
