Its against the rules on the forums.

 

[TomG]

thats proper weird no offence!
ok i wont in future

 

[Myrmecophaga]

So you reckon 516 is a perfectly reasonable total to be able to chase down in the fourth innings of a Test match?

That is the point being made...

 

[TomG]

yeah maan.

whats wrong with it. i batted well and deserved the win.

 

[Sureshot]

I know that. But where does it go in My Documents as i cant find it. I won by the way.
Oh and the Extras were:
12 No Balls
5 Wides
9 Byes
3 Leg Byes

Total 518

Once you save it, it goes into the saves folder for ICC2008. It's a text document.

The point people make is that chasing 500+ in the 4th innings is unheard of in real cricket. Also, as others have said, please don't use text talk.

 

[TomG]

Ok whatevar,
The thing is my boys showed real determination and pride for their country
And on the day the aussies wernt good enough.

 

[Themer]

And what we're saying is that its a bug not paticularly determination. 4th Innings chases are too high in the game on perfect bowling tracks.

 

[TomG]

Sure

 

[metallics2006]

516 is a good chase in my book no matter what the bug is. Great work Tom.

 

[TomG]

Cheers, Mate

Yeah, I've never chased down anything like it. I think my highest was 415 that I won by 4 wickets.

Normally I'd play for the draw if I was down 500 runs :P

 

[TomG]

Yeah thats what i tried to do but then face myself needing 200 runs on the last day with about 6 wickets left and a few players on hundreds

interesting thread

themer.. , tomyg - ys chasing down that total is commendable, beacause of the patience you showed playing the game.

although the point of there being a bug is valid too. Thing that saves you from criticism is that you had 2.5 days to chase that total.

Which I guess is possible in real life too. no one thought chasing 400+ runs is possible in ODI!!
