Story Australia vs Pakistan

[groobz]

I decided to play a test series today against Pakistan since they tour to Australia soon,, havn't posted my games in this forum for like a year so thought i might post this one

My game settings are
Hard mode
Sams exe (no curser) - for batting
Sams exe (no runout) - for bowling
Radaga's new test patch - similar to ravi's but more difficult

Also, i've turned the power slog button off. So timing and placement will be important.

 

[groobz]

Radaga, I hope you dont mind me trying out your patch here. I guess you can get some indication of how it plays as well.

The conditions in Brisbane were sunny and warm with a hard pitch just perfect for batting. Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first.

Morning Session
Saw Pakistan get off to a shaky start with the pakastani openers struggling to get the ball away and eventually falling prey to brilliant line and length from Mcgrah and Gillespi. Pakistan were in trouble at 2/33..

The captain Inzamam ul-haq came in under presure and performed brilliantly, scoring at all most a run a ball. Younis Khan played a solid supporting cast.

@ lunch Pakistan had improven to 3/127

Go to www.downloads.com and dowload an image editor.If you want a free and small one,try IrfanView(in the site).It is not very extensive and all but it is only 500kb to dowload and I use it and it does the job.All the other editors,like Paint shop pro,are extensive but they are like 99 mb to dowload.

Tea session

Pakistan has turned a bad start into a great batting performance. At the end of lunch Pakistan had faught their way too 6/275. Inzamam ul-haq took apart aussie bowlers, but was eventually caught on the boundry on 87.

Warne had been punnished this session. Eventhough I was changing fields around, the Pakastani middle order played him like a scrub. Anyway here is the current scorecard at tea.

So at tea Pakistan are 6/275
Abdul Razzaq 40*
Kamran Akmal 6*

Thanks a heap Gold

Final session
Pakistan all out for 384


The great batting continued for Pakistan in the later part of the day. Razzaq and Akmal both put on a solid 60 runs each.
1st innings scorecard for Pakistan

Even though Warny took most of my wickets, Mcgrah was the more economical.

Thanks guys, not sure why i left Afridi out, thought he was injured.

Anyway I've batted up untill Lunch on Day2

Current score for the aussies is

2/172
Ponting 60*
Martyn 21*

 

[groobz]

Also i forgot to mention, that at the beggining of the innings it was really easy to score because of the CPU field placements. So I decided to install Ravi's field placements, and it works great! I reccomend it for anyone playing a test match

Currently at the crease
