the ai bowlers bowl way too many short balls for my liking, next to no fielders on the leg side and bowling too straight, finding it too easy to pick up 2's and the occasional 4 when i hit it right, 49/2 from 13

Cant say your rocketing along thought lol!!

Getting a bit better at batting, although not after a shocking batting collapse from England. Although I did crack a massive 6 by Pietersen on the onside, was excellent to see it sail into the Aussie crowd! After 8 overs though the Aussies are definatly heavily on top as England stand 30/6. Collingwood (1), Flintoff and Maschernas (Both 0) and Pietersen (11) have all gone. Shocking stuff in the first ODI from England.

Haddin 45 (45) Harmmy 5-30

England 109 all out

2nd innings
Australia 211 all out
Ponting 57 (60) Swann 6-54

Just got my 360 version Playing India Vs Pakistan First game on a day 3 pitch in Colombo. Irfan pathan's bowling rating is 87 ???? Couldn't believe it.

India Is a better at bowling than Pakistan. India batting overall 85 bowling 81. Pakistan is 80 and 80. Will keep updating about the match

the outfield at lords isnt doing me any favours, nothing is running to the boundary, im hoping this is good game design that different venues have different out fields because im sure some of these should have made it lol. ive only hit like 3 all innings

post some file informations

Just posted this in the file formats thread:

Not good news I'm afraid. The "async.big.w32" file is still there, its now grown to 1.95gb. There's obviously the whole games files in there. Other than that there's a 13.6mb "cricket2009.exe", a few dll's and 3 videos. Possibly the smallest complete installation I've ever seen :laugh

Playing on Hard Mode. India(me) lost the toss and was sent to bat. India are 16/0 at the end of first over.
Batting with Tendulkar and Shewag.
Shoaib bowled the first over and was getting around 90MPH.
