How can you have scores of 215, 195, 157 then 594/4 lol!

Wealy, what conditions are you currently playing in? And what conditions were you playing in when routing the ai for low scores? Have you recognised a definate pattern?

Well pitch and weather does plau huge part mate i have seen thay happen. That does show Ai is very solid at timez unpredictable. They collapse and build again that is what i love about this game.

I haf india on 84/3 i thought here we go but they built solid partnership and eventully scored 313 amazing stuff.

That is great news - no other game has ever done that. The same goes for the pitch and weather.

Yeah there is im playing in sunny conditions on what is said to be a belter at the oval!!

Other games were on turning wickets or ones that assisted seamers!! Im struggling!!

Seems that for the best games you have to have india involved!!
I wouldnt worry about being crap! Im happy to be crap to have the AI batting over 120 overs. Ide rather that than winning in 1 day all the time.
When i get this tomorow i intend to play in a many different conditions as poss just to see if you simply HAVE to play on a good batting wicket in order to have a long test match.
Sounds really good. Im very happy you two have restored the faith in the test format on IC2010.

Hopefully, that's just a coincidence, as 99.9% of the time, my tests will involve England.

So, are there tests online now?

Just to sat

1st partnership was 43
2nd was 9
3rd was 151
4th was 190
and 5th was a montrous 261!

 

[Boundaries]

Hopefully the AI does actually declare on the game.

 

[Gone4aDuck]

Dont count on it!!! Although thats unfair as we dont know for sure. But i doubt the makers thought the AI would ever need to think about it. So its prob not included. but i would LOVE to be proved wrong.

 

[Wealey]

Wicket!!! Harris 5 Wickets!

Yes the Spinner has the wickets but too be honest my god has he had to work for them. It did say this was a belter which would take turn as the games goes on.

Dhoni lunges foward and the ball straightens was going on to hit middle!!

140 overs: 669/6

Just to add to that after loosing two wickets Tendulkar then plays out a maiden! Have not had one of those for a looong time!!

 

[Swanny]

hooray, australia 368 all out of 78.2 overs

watson 79(144)
haddin 51*(82)
north 48(55)
katich 24 (72)

Broad 7/90
anderson 2/107
Swann 1/123

that was epic but now im scared dont think ill even get a 100 on the board.

 

[Wealey]

Declaration!!!!

There you go lads that answers all your questions!!

143 overs: India 675/6 declared

Unreal!

Oh slightly harsh that Tendulkar was left on 297*.... im not complaining!
