This game would have to be THE best cricket game I've played on the ps2. Its good that you can't generate an innings or autoplay the other innings. To be a cricket you have to learn both aspects of batting and bowling. Smart move Codies.
I like how you can also create your own player but more heads should have been included to choose from. the other niggle I have is that you can't see what your total number of runs, batting av. etc is from the career player screen, they just give you these "talent bars" to fill up when you do well on the field.

Pros: Good feel when batting, makes a nice ball on wood sound when wacked away to the boundary

Cons: Hard to bowl out certain players. Commentary gets boring "no run off that ball"..."no run off that ball" etc

Much more fun batting than bowling. Seems pretty random when you take a wicket. Commentary gets irritating fast as well!!

nice game, i own both this and ea's criicket 05 (mum bought one not knowing i had other) but ill weigh their pros and cons

Pros: batting is easier but u can still make it challengin in test mode, icc world cup and the challanges (similar to shane warne 98 (also by codemasters (probably best cricket game ever made cos i still play it))) and the user friendliness

Cons: NO AUTOPLAY OR GENERATE INNINGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

come on now like ur gonna bowl 2 innings of a test match and bat them, itll take you 5 days and ur ps2 will probably burn out, im really really really disapointed in this this is the only major sort of con aapart from liscensing a great game should have official liscences

anyway thats my 2cents on the game
