Thanks for the review, very well written.

I think that just because Konami develop arguably the best football game available it doesn't mean that if they produced a cricket game it would be arguably the best available.

I always look forward to a new release of a cricket game, and I am always disappointed in some way. The Art of Cricket should be released by the time another commercial game is released, I might as well stick with that!

will we ever be able to edit the players in squads? because atm i can't pick Broad or Nixon for England in tests so whats the oint of Broad being in the game if you can't play with him. thats just idiotic!

They're obviously a bonus feature for PC users. They can be selected using the Lineup Editor.

Cheers for the review colin :)

Also yes, i believe had it been other game developers like Monolith or Crytek ( i know this is impossible ) Atleast they would have provided support and patches to the game :(

i totally agree what barmyarmy has written.all my enthusiasm is gone :mad: ........along with the gameplay the player likeness is terrible....what happened to good old Mcgrath and Lee from BLIC 2005 ?? Mcgrath looks like Mcdermott....if you guys remember who he is in the first place...

i am happy with the expanded demo and in future mebbe i will borrow the game .i am not going to spend a penny on BLIC 07 till they make something which will be really worth it !

Just because this game is crap doesn't mean Cricket 07 is good. It has flaws so it should be "kncocked".
