I will be playing Cricket 07 on 5 star level on PS2 and following Pakistan through all their international games from the 99/00 season onwards. I wanted to start as far back in time as possible so I can see lots of older players in action.
I will be doing all the batting for both teams in each match (the batting AI of the opposition is too defensive so I never lose and get very bored) and making the bowling changes by reassigning the controller at the appropriate time. I score way too fast to get realistic scores (even on 5 star difficulty level) so I will be playing one day internationals with 20 overs per innings (I will get a realistic 50 over score) and tests with 30 overs a day (I will score around 250 to 350 runs a day). This method will enable me to complete matches much quicker and also ensure Pakistan don't win every game.
I wont be able to alter my font or post pictures because my computer is old so please don't complain about my presentation. I will try and make up for the lack of colour and pictures by producing a story where realism (apart from the fast scoring and short matches) is the main focus (e.g. accurate team selections and realistic use of bowlers by the opposition), something which is lacking in a lot of other stories.
I have created some older players using their Cricket 2004 abilities so most teams will have accurate squads though some players (Ambrose, Walsh, Stewart etc) will be missing because they weren't in Cricket 2004.
The first series I will play is the 99 DMC Trophy against the West Indies, this was actually held in Toronto but I will be playing it in Pakistan because there is no ground for Toronto in Cricket 07.
