This is all an excellent study in the human condition and what makes us different.
Some people see a bug riddled game with poor graphics, a black Kane Williamson and a 17 year old Chris Gayle.
I see, from the very limited, unpatched sample, a game with a tonne of new bowling actions, batting animations, edges galore, where bowlers look like they're hitting the crease instead of rollerblading through. Albeit buggy but with the type of bugs which BA have patched out in previous titles.
I'm optimistic as hell for Thursday I can't wait to get my hands on it. Go figure.
