Nice stuff mate, hopefully NZ will come out on top after some sensational bowling from Bond.
The Sky sport layout is a bit old! But I guess it's only a one off update.
Keep it going!

This tempts me to try mine on Cricket 05 again It ( EA C05 ) always rocks better than any other cricket games, isn't it? May be EA C04 comes close.

Good update and writing Adi, you could try to have a shorter presentation as this much is not really necessary in a India-based story.

 

[Aditya]

Yeah,But then i thought that i am posting just one t20 match so lets make it bit interesting for the readers.

I'm sort of liking this new style, Aditya. Good work. Wish you will do the same for Indian matches.

Australia in New Zeland
1st t20 match
at Auckland Cricket Stadium​

So the New Zealand chase started. What a start it was for both the sides. Brendon McCullum New Zealand opener smashed four of his very first bowl then defended one ball and on the third bowl got out. Woof! Would have been the first word from the Australian team captain Michael Clarke after McCullum dismissal because McCullum is perhaps the best t20 batsmen the the New Zealand side currently. As we know if he gets going then a target of even 200 is small in front of New Zealand. Pressure was now certainly on New Zealand loosing McCullum so early was a worst possible start for them,New Zealand...

So after McCullum wicket the next batsmen was Styris the experienced man. He took most of the strike because his experience was the key if New Zealand wanted to win. Styris started off in a very positive way. Intension's were clear from Styris,he was smashing the ball all around the park because New Zealand needed some quick runs. Michael Clarke had worried expressions on his face. Styris was smashing his bowlers and he was not able to do anything.

As soon as it was going well for New Zealand, they lost one more wicket of their other opener Aaron Redmond. Redmond got out for just 5. Redmond tried to smash the ball on straight but didn't timed it at all and got bowled. Next batsmen was none other than Ross Taylor. He could also be said the best t20 batsmen in New Zealand side because of his consistency. Ross Taylor supported Scott Styris very well and even he himself started smashing boundaries.

When it seemed that Styris is well set for a big innings. He lost his wicket. Styris tried to smash the ball on off side but it went very high in the air and fielder there took the catch easily. Next batsmen was Hopkins. New Zealand innings was balanced well,they just needed someone to hit few quick runs and Hopkings and Taylor did that for them. Specially Taylor,He smashed few big strokes he was the key man now in the innings...

Hopkins got out for a fine score of 21. He played slow because he needed to support Ross Taylor and he did that very well. Martin Guptill was the next batsmen and guess what he too thought that now man its time for some big strokes. Ross Taylor now knew that its just the matter of time till New Zealand wins so lets now have a go at some big strokes and soon he reached his fifty.

So with just few runs wanted Guptill and Taylor smashed some boundaries. It was absolute treat to watch Ross Taylor batting. He was looking at his very best throughout the innings. He smashed the ball all around the park,leg side,off side and straight. With just 4 runs needed Guptill smashed a four and New Zealand won the match. Most people expected Australia to win but New Zealand had some other plans. A great win for New Zealand in the end.

Member who guessed the winner right is,Riz7Khan he wins 3,000 vcash price.

Member who guessed the score first batting team will make correctly is SachinGr8(Akshay) he too gets 3,000 vcash price.

Congrats to the winners.

Man of the match : Cameron White for his well made 83​

[Aditya]

I uploaded the wrong scorecard,its corrected now.

 

[Varun]

Great work with the graphics, I must say. Also, you should make your written part a little shorter because it is a India-based story.

 

[Gaurav_7]

I uploaded the wrong scorecard,its corrected now.

You uploaded the right one. You just PSed the current one. Btw, that is a common error in EA Cricket Games. If there is a modified exe, use it as with that you can control both the teams.

 

[Aditya]

Bug. Ha Ha,Yeh it was a small bug. I don't know much about cricket'05 because i have just started playing it but as far as i am concern we can play with just one team in the game.

 

[Gaurav_7]

If there is a modified exe, it will allow you to control both teams I think. For C2k7, it is like that itself.

 

[Aditya]

Yes,In cricket'07 we can control two teams i know but in cricket'05 we can't. I tried to search for modified exe but didn't got any kind of success. I will search once again,maybe then i would get any kind of success.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Try asking Tom, he seems to have a good knowledge about c2k5 tweaks.

 

[Prithvi]

Try asking Tom, he seems to have a good knowledge about c2k5 tweaks.

And even Suren Bhai as he used C05 for his story.

BTW, good story dude. KIUGW!

And one suggestion here:
Make all those scorecard thingys (Skyscraper, worm etc etc) in GIF (All in one image)
It looks better than the existing one
