Cricket

basically, give BLC a go, it's the clearest, funnest and most arcadey of all the respectable ones

Yeah you got me! I assumed EA's franchise was Brian Lara, like Madden for American Football.

is Madden available over there? i'll use that as my barometer of whether or not there's a NA vers of cricket games

yeah Madden's available here, I know a few ppl who play it

this Coach Stilo thing is pretty entertaining fwiw

240 to win from 66 overs. In other words, Windies will be playing for a draw.

So much for tempting them with the prospect of a win.

xp I was playing Madden '94 on the SNES, back in the day.

Tom it doesnt make a difference, the WI will not be bowled out no matter how much the WI are set.

there was no sense in handing them an easy win, thats all it would have done.

So play long enough for KP to improve his batting average then?

10 wickets wont have fallen even in 200 overs

why did you want england to hand the WI an easy win? the series hasnt been lost in this game

Yes, well done, England, excellent loss of a series there, you can hold your heads up high and no mistake

Englands collapse came in this series when defending btw. so the whole dangle a carrot thing is the only way to win is bullshit. It's to bowl well and create pressure. There cant be any pressure if the batsmen are given an easy target as a "carrot". its fucking stupid talk.

Losers

Anyway, let's look forward to the Ashes, that should be laugh

here we go

2 down already!

Get one of Sarwan or Chanderpaul and we have a real chance.

Chanderpaul is like a wall though, he'll make 26 not out of 134 balls :(

Needs a bit of the old chin music IMO.

ohh i think sarwan is out

I LOVE THE REFERRAL SYSTEM

oh wait

not out. wrong decision. hawk-eye says it was out. why arent they using hawk-eye?

the system is flawed there

ok i'm gettin mah gun

Referral sucks

ooh

unfortunately chanderpaul is to come

they might wobble if he went early, but you wouldnt be surprised if he batted out the day for a comfy draw

HATE referral, LOVE Swann

argh

didnt carry

damn thats the pivotal moment in the game :(

oh fuck

if he had went 1st ball WI woulda collapsed like a deck of cards

looks like a draw

come the fuck on

need another 2 quick then it could go to last over and everyone gets to moan about running out of time etc

ppl keep going on about the last time how england had ran out of time. but in reality they had 10 overs at the last partnership which should have been plenty of time. Doubt very much 9 will be down with 10 wkts remaining this time.

nasser hussain got us that wicket

also umpiring karma

referring it...

Not going to be given :-(

Knew that'd be a silly referral

these. fucking. umpires. wrong all the fucking time

if you'd saved yer review for that one...but yeah, that did look pretty out

Harper and Tiffin should never ever be allowed to umpire again.

well well
