Long England Tour with Sri Lanka

[James90]

Well I started the tournament on medium and not suprisingly was smashing all the counties. Did so again in the one-day sereis and should have comprehensively cleansweeped it if i didn't have to forfeit one because it wouldn't let me resume. Anyway it was then onto the first test where i started off with 225. Atapattu 62, Sangakkara 68. Then I bowled England out for 17!!! Vaas, Gunaratne and run out getting their fair share of wicket. I enforced the follow on and thought i'd give them a bit of a chance so autoplayed the bowling. They manage 398!!! Not bad but then i was only chasing 173 or something. After i was 1/120 I were certain that i was home. But then 4 LBW decisions a couple of runouts which went to the 3rd ump. Chandana looked like he was going to see me home with a six over cover. I suddenly collapsed falling 12 runs short! Now I'm certain!!! If I bat first I will not autoplay if i get anything under 400. I'm sure autoplay will be fairer when Murali comes back from injury

Theres a fix for that, check out the SavTweak thread in the Cricket 2004 forum

I'm just wondering...with all these patches and fixing versions. Do you have to re-install the game or save it over anything or will it just fix things automatically as if nothing happened?

 

[squiz]

you dont have to do anything, it'll "fix things automatically as if nothing happened"

 

[James90]

Is it a seperate patch just to fix that problem or are they're other things in the same patch? Like other bugs fixed or diff over rates?

It's not really a patch that fixes the Resume bug. It's just a program that was made for online play. Not much bugs have actually be fixed either, it's that the REsume bug was accidentally fixed by SaVtweak

 

[James90]

Does the Resume bug only happen with one-dayers?

 

[squiz]

yer

The Resume bug only happens when the AI tries to pick a bowler to bowl who had already bowled their full 10 overs

Bad loss.

Even with those decisions, a sure win went a begging.

I took Namibia on a tour of Sri Lanka and pounded the life out of them.........on medium. So I tried for a repeat on Hard and surely found out why they suck soooooooooo bad.

My run rate was a staggering 2.08 an over win no one getting a century all tour and altough I jagged a couple of wins. My game was lacking any flare.

So back to the drawing board for me.

Looks like we are in the same boat.
