Wicket!!!

This is bad news! Kallis gone, spinner on too good knicks off to keeper!

This will be a serious effort!

Waaaiiit a minute - are you saying that the game is only good if you're not playing as England?

That's how this thread seems to have gone, those playing with other teams are loving it. Dunno what to make of it myself, just read back through the thread from about page 14.

right guys this is so tough im going to have to take a break for a while, batting is just so tough they just squeeze you so hard, nothing you can do in some situations, but id say this is an awesome challenge of a game.

Seems as if Swann in particular is overpowered.

What day is it again and which session? Would be funny if it only lasted 2-3 days due to the human batting :laugh

Can you elaborate a bit more on this as in AC09 you could hardly tell a difference. Also is swing much more apparent now with the Action Cam? in AC09 i could never tell which way it was moving and just played on line and length.

Surely they wouldn't deliberately nerf us just because we beat them in the T20 World Cup, eh Aussies?

Well you can see the ball swing alot more now. You see it swing away from the batsman's outside eage alot more. I wlays thought that the swing in 2009 looked like a cutter. Swing has improved big time i get 6/10 of my wickets with swing. I.e. 3 inswingers and then the out swinger to get the edge. be be warned you do it wrong you will get punished. !

134/1

Does it look and act differently?

One by one, all my pet niggles about cricket games seem to be evaporating with this game - but I don't like this idea that the game isn't good when playing as England - sort of puts an end to the whole idea of buying it for me.
