<span style='color:#000000ost_uid0'>OK, I slated the difficulty patch earlier on but now i'm absolutely loving it...at last you won't have any "yawn" matches...i combined the difficulty patch and zim's stroke patch together, and...it worked!! i'm sure someone said they can't be used together, but it does work. so now, you can have the swing and spin that the difficulty patch delivers ASWELL as the knwledge that the cpu will be gearing itself to slog any yorked deliveries...its very realistic using both these patches guys, u really need both of them, its a real challenge...rangeela, where are you my friend...you need these now!! :P</span>

Hey sonic,

Well I have played a lot with difficult patch in past week? and now it?s not really a difficult patch for me at all. Since you talked about using it with Zim?s stroke patch, I thought of a giving it a try. First of all Zim stroke patch is really great. It is good to see that CPU batsman really take a hit. Especially on yokers. But tell you a truth for me the game is all about timing the shots and hitting on gaps when you are batting. And bowling maintains a good line and length.

I played a game with difficulty patch and zim?s stroke file together. I manage to get 266/7 after 20 overs against Australia. One thing I really liked, which I saw after a quite some time was getting bowled by brett lee on 102mph ball. Saeed anwar was on 55 and lee bowled a 102 mph delivery and I completely off timed the shot and it shattered the stumps. When I was bowling Wasim gave 15 runs in his 1st over. I was like the patch is really good. But next over I brought shoaib who took a hat trick in his 1st over. First ball was a lbw, 2nd ball was a catch to a 1st sleep and 3rd was a clean bowled. Later everybody cheeped in and took wickets and manage to get all out for 51 in 7.5 overs. One thing I saw when I was bowling which I never saw before was stumping. When saqlain bowled his delivery and batsman came forward and missed it completely and keeper stumped him that was really great to watch when you are bowling.
But I give it up to Zim creating this awesome patch. At least I don?t have to yawn when I am bowling and keep my line and length.
