Can we give them some questions we can ask like last time?

I hope so!

Seeing as Nigel and Dean are so involved in the whole set-up I'm sure they can sort something out!

I'll ask Nigel when I catch him on MSN again.

Next Monday

Interesting...
I read this post while it was still fairly fresh and remember thinking' 'aus5892 will be right onto this and denying it.' No offense Kev only thought that as it hadnt been an 'official' announcement. Although it hasnt been denied yet.

 

[Hooper]

Lol, that post made no sense to me!

So is it officially coming next monday?

 

[M.Di Venuto]

It makes sense to me
I thought aus5892 was doing all the official announcements. There have been heaps of rumours about when it will actually be released and someone (usually aus5892 or sureshot) have denied them. And been right in doing so I might add, as all the rumours have been wrong so far.
This wasn't an announcement from one of the usual's, yet they didn't deny it as a release date as they usually do.

does that make more sense? Ive got Uni exams atm and have been staring at text books for a couple of weeks now, i think its screwing with my logic

and no i dont think its official yet.

Games aren't released on Mondays.

 

[Hooper]

Haha, that makes sense to me now. Yeah reading black writing off white backgrounds may have muddled your head.

Well no word from Dean or Sureshot so looks good, mate.

Hooper added 2 Minutes and 12 Seconds later...

Australia they can be.

 

[Simbazz]

I don't really think that they'll release on Monday, but who am I to argue?

For one, they've not released anything, and secondly, it'll be the 15th, who releases a good month before the Ashes?

 

[Bridger]

I think the 26th is a good bet, it wont be for another couple of weeks....i mean there has been no screenshots/features or anything yet, and the amount of information being released on the official site is minimal.

 

[M.Di Venuto]

More official news. I hope I am allowed to quote from the Childish Things Forum

Today we reveal some of the new features in the game, as well as the official blurb:

Yeah sure, ask away and I'll answer as best as I can.

The features thus far sound decent.
No offence to Chris but for many years there seemed to be little progress on the basis of the game but it just all seems to slowly building well. If as hoped he can get say the Australian domestic league next then it really will be a great game.

Am looking forward to tomorrows announcement.

 

[Sureshot]

Even if the announcement is that we've put in new toilets in the offices?

Just kidding...

But they are luxury! How does it know how hard to flush? Does it know when I've done a twosie, because as soon as I stand, it gets to work! Bravo to whoever installed them

I've loved the trials that I have downloaded for previous ICC games so I'll most likely be buying this.

Thanks for the information.
