Awesome graphics....this is possibly the closest Cricket 2005 will get to real-life cricket.

But you should have used Sky Sports feed graphics and not the channel 9 ones.

Amazing, incredible graphics, you can tell that you spent so much time on them. Reps for you.

England will get early wickets here, unlike the real match, I fancy Harmy for a 5-for.

Thanks Sid . Yeah i saw the Ashes this year on Channel Nine and loved the graphics so i dont know how Ashes was shown on Sky Sports. So i decided to make one myself . They only use the Dark Green colour and i used a light one and i used Blue on for England as well which they have never used. Overall its based on Nine's style but still its different you will see the difference as the story will progress and you will get the Sky Sports feel with next few updates when the technologies will come in picture .

Openers Facing Tough Time​

​

Dramatic start to the Ashes 06-07 as England bowlers are bowling with aggression causing few problems to the Australia opening pair . Steve Harmison was ready for the 1st ball of the match .Umpire for the match are Steve Bucknor and Billy Bowden. Langer was on strike and Harmison was steaming in . Harmison bolwed s short ball and Langer picked it up early and his eye's lit up and he went for the pull shot but the ball didnt bounce as expected and Langer was hit in the ribcage area. That was a hard blow for Langer and he was straight away in some pain but even though that was hurting Langer bravely got ready for the 2nd ball.That was fantastic start to the Ashes and now the things will get heated up for the whole series. Next ball Harmison bowled another fast delivery at 135 kph which was just short of the length and Langer was shaken by the surprise bounce . The ball hurried on him and after hitting the gloves it was in the air and went in the short leg region but there was no fielder at that position . Luckily Langer survived but the pitch is doing something for Harmison. Langer then saw one pitched outside the offstump but he missed it while driving through the offside.

Harmison's 1st over

Hoggard shared the new ball with S.Harmison . Hoggard has an impressive bowling record in test matches as he has picked 222 wickets in 58 matches at an average of 30.18 . He often troubles the left handers with his inswingers and now Hayden was on strike.

Hoggard sharing the new ball

Hayden was facing his 1st ball and Hoggard bowled one outside the offstump and the ball came back in slightly . Hayden went for the cover drive but this time again the ball bounced a bit more than expected and there was a definite deflection of the ball hitting the glove or the handle of the bat and it went to G.Jones. There was a huge appeal from all the players behind the wicket and Hoggard was fully convinced but Billy Bowden was unmoved . Hoggard was dissappointed as he was fully convinced that it was out but Hayden survived.Snickometer confirmed that the ball did hit the glove and some part of the handle of the bat as well. Hayden is really lucky to survive a first ball duck.

Hayden Survives

Snickometer says OUT

Australia then started to get a move on as both Hayden and Langer started to score in boundaries and thinks were changing quickly . Hoggard was still bowling a good line and still the batsmen were facing some difficulties but Hayden was going on the aggressive and was playing his shots freely. Langer on the other hand was very watchful and was putting the bad balls for fours.

Runs Coming in Boundaries

As Australia were getting runs at regular interval Vaughan then made his first change in the bowling . Andrew Flintoff was given the ball as he replaced Hoggard . Flintoff's Test record is very good with 186 wickets in 62 matches at an average of 32.02. He was the hero in the last Ashes series and he will be hoping to repeat the same here.

Flintoff replacing Hoggard

Australia : 49/0 ( 15 overs)

J.Langer : 20* (38) 4 Fours
M.Hayden: 29* (52) 5 Fours

S.Harmison : 7-2-18-0
M.Hoggard : 5-1-17-0
A.Flintoff : 3-0-14-0

Wow biggest update in stories history here at PC
A definate deflection and Hayden lucky to survive.

Brilliant graphics gamer, just mindblowing :hpraise

England on top and Harmy showing a bit of what happened first ball of Ashes 05

Thats a poor decision from Billy... Aussies look comfortable atm! I guess gamer, u are so optimistic that u added an 1 wicket to Hoggy though Billy was unmoved

May be Monty is the man to get wickets! Give rest to opening bowlers and continue with Flintoff n Monty!

Hold on, i am an Aussie fan in this game right.. Sorry I take back my comments.. Thats a good decision from Billy Com'on Billy, continue the same in future also..REMAIN UNMOVED
