Guys im having some major problems with bowling in cricket 2004. If any of you have been following my Dominators story thread (link below) you would know that i am using bosses version 2 patch (i am waiting for version 3s full release). This is fine for the batting side of it with runs becoming hard to make which is great. The problem is the bowling. I have been using the autoplay to ensure the computer gets respectable totals to make the game interesting to the readers out there. I decided i might take the ball in the test vs new zealand and this is what occurred:
New Zealand 10/5 (Vincent 5) (G. Mcgrath 9/0 (5.4 overs))

What i am asking is, is there a patch out there which makes the oppositions batting better to the point at which they can set realistic type totals. My aim is to make this as realistic as possible so that the readers can enjoy however scores of 5 in a test match just annoy me.

People like the_champ, m_vaughn, sai, jazz. You are all doing really good stories now. What do you suggest i should do to get rid of this problem As i said batting is fine, no dramas with that but its just the bowling. Any advice is welcome. Thanks
below is the proof and the scorecards.

Well what do you expect from such crap AI and crap game?

Bowl wide balls if you want to make the scores realistic :D

Or autoplay the bowling part.

thats the thing mate not one of those wickets was through a yorkers. they were just decent balls on a good length. the yorker system never worked for me but just bowling on a good line and length brings the above result

all i did is just bowled on or around off stump constantly and it came. i can guarentee everyone that not one of those wickets was to do with a yorker. i dont bowl yorkers because
1 im not that good at them and
2 bowling the way im bowling seems to be doing ok haha

i made it in the record books for that aswell :clap :happy :D

try tutsis patch ... it isnt easy to get the batsmen out and they tend to post decent scores... though not 250+ scores.. With the last patch the batsmen tended to score slowly in the middle overs .. but it was very tough to get them out..
