Did you play BLIC 2007, buddy? Before and/or after P.C. worked their magic on it?

Well a good thing about sites being sold out means that cricket games are still being sold and there is a still big interest in it, which is encouraging to see. Obviously everyone is probably getting it because of the ashes series

Not much BL07, I did use EA07 with lots of patches off here though.
If the great and the good can fix the little niggles with this it could be a cracker!

You'll be aware of how much Ckt 07 was improved then? Out of the box, it was an unplayable mess! Ashes 2009 certainly isn't unplayable, so I very much look forwards to what the guys here can come up with.

That is sort of why Im so surprised as to why the cricket gaming industry is so far behind the rest of the sport-gaming world. I know someone mentioned theres a lot of piracy in India so that screws up the sales but still, theres probably over a billion cricketing fans across the world, way more than NFL, NBA, MLB etc...the cricket gaming market SHOULD be able to compete with them and we SHOULD have the support those games have.

Surely there are more countries interested in cricket than baseball...
I can list:
England,
Australia,
Pakistan,
Bangladesh,
India,
New Zealand,
South Africa,
Zimbabwe
Sri Lanka
as well as all the improving sides such as Kenya, Holland and so on. Hell, even the USA have a team!

Exactly....why are cricketing fans always treated as a bunch of twats? The amount of revenue companies can make with cricket games compared to the games I listed above is staggering....our games should be the FRONTRUNNERS along with football. There really is no need for companies like EA (for instance) to keep bringing out lame / cosmetically enhanced cricket games. They could really make a killing if they just invested in cricket as a gaming industry. The technology is available worldwide, I doubt the american games are big simply because they have money. I think we need to get Japan hooked on cricket, then we will see some insanely awesome cricket games haha Those dudes are fanatical about the games they make!

And the AI's run outs? Or does that seem much better to you; I've heard that although there are less runouts in the full game, the AI often doesn't make one run, when there are three on offer! :doh The fact that the AI often ran threes was one of the things I loved about the demo.
How are you finding the ODIs and online, Vitch?
God, Codemasters are going to get more of my money Dirt 2 coming out for pc in September.
