Story One off Test- Australia vs England

[brad352]

Unhappy with the result of the last one-off Test match (thread here ), the English have accepted the Aussie's invitation to come back for another go. Same rules as last time, I'm playing 1 test between Australia and England without patches, simply to see how much I can get. I'm not using advance shots though.

Aussie Lineup:

J.Langer
M.Hayden
R.Ponting
D.Martyn
D.Lehmann
M.Love
A.Gilchrist
B.Lee
J.Gillespie
S.MacGill
G.McGrath

The Australian strategy of playing sensibly and working the ball around is having good effect, with only 2 wickets falling up to tea

"Australia's strategy is having a good effect" that would be an understatment.

Brad, on a side note, when you play with patches, which one do you usually use?, i'm finding ravi's far to easy and tutsi's a little hard,, since i play without the slog button.

 

[brad352]

I don't play with patches, in fact this is the first time I've played Cricket 2004 in 4 or 5 months

If I did, I'd be using the one Tim posted here

 

[vibs89]

[groobz]

Yep thats the patch i've been using recently.

Punter got out on about 330 :

The thing I really want to beat is the 600ish I got with Lehmann last time I did this

Doesn't your game crash when you get big scores? I was 850/2 with England and it crashed to the desktop.
