I think this game is a real challenge due to the variable weather conditions and depending on the team you are playing just like in real life. I played Zimbabwe on County level and they got 138 al out in a test, however when i played West Indies i took 3 early wickets in the first 15 overs of the day however then the rain came and all of day 1 and 2 was washed out and the orning of day 3. Then my bowlers were all out of rhythm and Lara got 164* and Sarwan 88 also Dwayne Bravo got 78 and Weindies posted 400-4 before day 4 after tea and all of day 5 was washed out. I also like the fact that you can actual see the clear difference in pace so when akhtar bowl you cannot see the ball and so it is near impossble to time however a 95 mph is slightly easier to time. Also i find in tests that most of the complaints people have do not happen at all, and i firmly believe thta after reading these forums a lot od people are just repeating the same points e.g too fast without even playing the game and ignore the positives a lot of people have jumped on a bandwagon.
