[m_vaughan]

added features?? like what?? atomic kitten??

 

[duffarama]

LOL m_vaughan, not atomic kitten.
It is sorta like Jarryd not telling you about the skycam feature, so I'll keep it secret for now.

Actually, I am going to start the tour on Tuesday, because with SAc2k4PT patch v1.3b I bowled Sri Lanka out for 85! I'll have to change the patch to SAc2k4PT patch v1.3a, the previous version and start again.

Don't you steal my skycam

 

[m_vaughan]

all out for 85...you must be playing on a damp or green pitch under cloudy conditions.

Nah, I was playing on Normal pitch under overcast conditions.

Stay tuned,

[m_vaughan]

overcast conditions...thats why!

 

[duffarama]

OK, thanks mate. But now I will be playing with the 1.4a patch if it is easier batting and harder bowling. (slightly)

(edit: patch 1.4a, not 1.3a)

Match One
Victoria v Sri Lanka (4 day match) Canberra

Day One-
Conditions: Hard pitch, overcast, warm

Benaud: Good morning from Canberra to all of our viewers to the first match of the top-end tour. It will be played between Victoria and Sri Lanka, and should be a ripper of a content. And I am joined by the one and only Duffarama.
Duffarama: Thanks Ritchie. This match will certainly test Victoria considering that they havn't played much cricket lately. We know go down to Mark Taylor where he joins the captians.
Taylor: Thanks Duffarama. By the look of this, it is a hard pitch, overcast conditions and it is pretty warm down here. Let's toss the coin.
Berry: Heads.
Taylor: It looks like you won the toss Darren. What are you going to choose?

Berry: I'll have a bat Mark. It looks like a good pitch for batting and if we get a good total on the board, we will have a chance.
Taylor: And Marvin, what do you think mate?
Attapatu: Well, I think that we are ready to go out there and show how good we are. We have Murali back in the side, so that is always a good thing. Also, we have alot of bowling options, which is good as well.
Taylor: Back to you Richie.
Benaud: Thanks Mark. Now in a few momemnts we will go down to the start of play...

Duffarama: Here we are, and don't they look pumped.

[m_vaughan]

why have u uploaded bitmaps....its much better convert them into jpgs so that you can provide larger images of much smaller file sizes.

 

[Jarryd]

Yeah. If they were jpgs then that moving pic would be really cool.
