Story England's Tour Of India 3 Tests 5 ODI's (BLIC)

[The_gas]

For this tour i have the following installed.

Test & ODI kit updates.
Roster updates for India & England.
Bat Pack Update (However i am playing unlicensed so the bats change randomly )
Natwest Stumps
Umpire Tops.
The excellent England face pack.
Sky Sports 1.1 Tv Overlay.
Team information editor.
I have edited, 70% of India's players, for increased batting and bowling stats.
I have lowerd the bowling control of all of my bowlers.

This should even up the game somewhat. This story wont be fancy, and have nice little pictures taken from internet sites, it will soley be based on the teams, highlight pictures and individual performances. There arent many, if any, blic based story's which is a shame as the animations, of bowling and batting are superior to any other cricket game. The lack of stats seriously lets this game down. Therefore, i will be using Markh's promising stat recording facility, it hasnt been properly tested yet, but will allow me to post players stats at the end of each innings etc.

Match Conditions

Dry Pitch, its a low, slow pitch. Very receptive to spin, not much in it for the seam bowlers. This is definatly a bat first pitch, once the first hour or two's play is out of the way, it should be a featherbed. The weather is hot, humid and pretty sticky, with perfect condition's for the whole day.

England captain Vaughan wins the toss for once and has no hesitation in putting dravid and co into the field. Trescothick and Strauss will have a great chance to fill their boots if they can see off the new ball.

good luck mate.. shud be a cracking series... can u also tell me if updating india teams player abilities work??? because when i did it was still the same..

Thanks mate. It only appears to work if you use the team information editor beta 1.1 by mentalist from the downloads section. When using Tom's editor, i found that it either didnt work, or it made the team file corrupt. The way to do it, download a india roster update, install using baggi studios. Use the lineup editor to select your test and odi lineup. Then use the team information editor to edit players/teams abilities, oh and dont forget to click save after you edit each individual player.

What do you mean mick? The team lineups for this game? I actually forgot to post those, ill add them to this post shortly.

England Batting Lineup

 

[The_gas]

Indian Bowling Card. Indian Batting Order Yet To Be Confirmed.

 

[barmyarmy]

Blackwell as the sole spinner?

 

[cricket doctor]

D. Mongia in Indian team??????

 

[The_gas]

Blackwell as the sole spinner?

Yep, ive every faith in him.

I wanted Colly in as an extra batsmen after his great knock in real life. His military medium could come in handy on this track.

 

[The_gas]

D. Mongia in Indian team??????

Yes, not my choice, whoever created the indian roster im using did that. : Still he's been edited to have 100 in every setting, so technically hes now the best player in the game, like all of india's top 6.
