England 266/7 after 50 Overs
Flintoff hit a fluent 30 of 22 balls. Steyn got the last Wicket with Flintoff finding the man in the deep. On the whole it was a good innings from England. Although I think the AI could of easily got about extra 20-30 runs
Pros
AI pacing seems realistic although sometimes for 1-2 overs they go ultra defensive
Ball swings in early overs then the swing dies down. In the later overs reverse swing comes available but I didn’t notice it very much and it just seemed a normal delivery. Not sure if the pitch had a part to play with that
Edges thick and thin are very realistic
Flaws
Bowler speeds are wrong
Only Pietersen seemed to think where to score when I changed the field around. Whereas Bopara was just defending and taking the odd single
If I held all the catches and got direct hits with run outs England would have been out for under 200
I am pretty bad in batting. So I will take a break now and then later on post how the AI reacts when you chase a total
On the whole so far Ashes Cricket 2009 is a great game and is one of the best cricket games in a very long time
