I started a test match between me (Eng) and CPU (AUS). I batted first and made 374 all out at the start of the second day. Australia batted next and I bowled them out for 397. It was now tea time on day 3. I then made 306. Then they needed 283 with 1 and a half days to go. So they didn't play too defensive but not to agrresive. They steadied along the innings and on the last day they needed 90 runs and had about 1 hour of play remaining. They then decided to defend. They had gillcy and mcgrath batting. Gillcy played some shots (only bad balls) but defended the rest and mcgrath just defended everything on his stumps and left the rest. So by doing this they held off for a draw. Now on BLIC they would of slogged everything. Thanks for reading this!! This game is amazing!!
This game is so realistic!!

What Khan said was his opinion, and he's entitled to it. You cannot ever say someone's opinion is "wrong" - only that you disagree with it.
I personally think that they both have good and bad points, but overall I feel Cricket 2005 just edges it. And before you tell me that I'm wrong too, thats my opinion, not a fact.

Well, if you like the game that good for you. People have different opnion. Btw how long did it take you to play 5 days. Australia play very attacking cricket, very rare to see them not going for win. I feel that both games failed to make it realistic.

I think its the best !
The CPU went at a steady rate but they lost wickets. No team would risk losing a match. With a tailender at the crease and still needing 90 wouldn't it be wise to just bat out the last hour of play?? Thats what I'd do in a real match situation like that!
If the CPU lose a wicket they play defensive for about 10 overs just blocking and going for 1s and 2s. When the new batsmen is settled then they start to play a bit more agrresive. They were only chasing 283 with quite a long time left. But once they started to get going I got a wicket thus slowing them down. This is how I kept them from making the runs.
