Pathfinder
School Cricketer
Got the game on Saturday and eagerly loaded it up. Had a quick look at the manual, says the game works with gamepad but no button layouts in manual. Get into game and yippee! it recognises my controller (a Play.com PSX-USB Adapter).
However in the game go to options, controller - no joypad configuration possible. Go into tutorials and by trial and error manage to work out that
Hopefully this might help anyone with the same controller as me and if anyone finds out how to swap players or charge down the pitch with my controller please let me know.
This is one up on EA 07 which doesn't unless you change the registry name to a Logitech which in turn messes up other games and in any case results in the analogue sticks moving in opposite directions in EA 07

Batting
Left analogue stick = aiming
Triangle = Attacking Shot
Circle = Lofted shot
Cross = Defensive shot
Left top shoulder = sweep (or reverse sweep) along ground
Right top shoulder = lofted sweep (or reverse sweep)
Before the ball is bowled the above two buttons move the batsmen left and right
After hitting the ball Triangle = Run, Circle = cancel run
Select = go to menu
No button mapped for charge down pitch

Bowling
Left analogue stick = aiming
Triangle = Start run up/Normal ball
Square = slower ball
Cross = goes to left
Circle = goes to right
Left bottom shoulder = Special 1
Right bottom shoulder = Special 2
Before the delivery the four shoulder buttons allow you to cycle through the different field settings

Fielding
Apart from being virtually impossible to time catches or throws:
Triangle = Catch
Left bottom shoulder = throw to bowler
Right bottom shoulder = throw to wicket keeper.

Menus
Triangle = select
Circle = back
In the pick team screen I can find no button that allows me to swap a player. Indeed I can't seem to do this with a mouse either!!!!
