Scored 196 as England against the Aussies with no bowling markers whatsoever. I then bowled them out for 118. :crying

Didn't Codies by out Swordfish? I.E its made by them but they are now a part of Codemasters.

It's not actually possible to win the exhibition trophies. I've been awarded the Test and the Twenty Twenty one but they don't appear in the trophy cabinet.

I've just played with the pitch marker off and found it slightly harder but still beat NZ's 211 in a test match in just 19.3 overs. I did lose 8 wickets but 4 of them were due to the running bug. I'll have to have a go turning the aiming reticule off as well.

There's Slog, Village, County and Test. Demo was probably on slog but in terms of batting it makes no difference. I can easily achieve a run rate of 20 after 25 overs in a test match against Australia on test difficulty.

They'll put one of their stickers across the case opening, once you take it off you can't return it.

Did anyone who knows anything about cricket even play this game before they released it?

I think Xfire lets you send messages to other people whilst in games. Not sure if it will work with BLIC though. Edit: Tonkertoy is too fast for me.

Ok, you slaughtered me in the last couple of overs. Final scorecard. Gas' wagonwheel with Strauss. One thing was certainly noticeable and that was the dropped catches! Gas must have had at least 5 and I had a fair few myself. I really wish the fielders would go for the stumps more...

Go for it.

I did hit it. I hit it straight to the bowler and he threw it to the keeper who stumped me. I was late in hitting the button to get back into the crease but I was clearly in when I was stumped.

I've got it if you still want to play. I've just tried on Gamespy and it appears there is no Gamespy room for the game. :what

I've just had Strauss stumped when I was quite blatantly in the crease. Not even a call for the third umpire. :mad Also had an incident earlier where New Zeland ran on an overthrow and my fielder backing up was all of 6 yards from the bowlers end wicket. It was the easiest run out ever and he...

That is not true. In Windows XP when a packet is lost during the reading of a disc then Windows will step down the IDE speed a notch to try and fix it, eventually it steps it down so far that it puts the drive into 16bit compatibility mode thus rendering it useless for anything. Starforce...

Starforce can be beaten by disconnecting the drives IDE cable can it not? Great copy protection there. Starforce can be considered malicious in nature as you're given very little warning about what it actually does to your system, in a lot of cases you won't even notice it's there. Software...

I'm using it and it works fine.

GeForce and TNT2

That simply isn't true. If you're buying current generation then Nvidia are better simply because ATI haven't released yet. If you're buying last generation then I would say ATI are better in general.

I'm running an 8800GTS and can play with maxed graphics whilst recording with FRAPS and still get 30fps. They're not exactly cheap cards though.
