The Art of Cricket was actually the name of Don Bradman's biography, so he was giving you a subtle hint there. :D

A marvelous press release there, I haven't heard what my announcement on youthcluster sounded like yet (it's downloading now), but I would imagine that the press release is much better.

Tucked away in the new screenshots is a good look at the bowling system for TAOC: http://www.theartofcricket.net/gall...et/screenshots/tcp_2006-10-20_11-28-42-37.jpg
Which I think looks really good.

Looks so much better with the links and images. ;)

If I had FTP access I could do some stuff with the screenshots.

The bowling thing looks great, though its size could be toned down a bit!

And what exactly are those two bars at the bottom-left? Confidence meters?
