Cricket 2005.
Lara's got the olds kits for England and South A, which I don't like.

Ive got BLC for the xbox. Cricket 2005 is gash, batting impossible, no save game option on the xbox, fat umpires and its too eay to bowl a team out.

Batting is easy on Cricket 05. And you can save it.

You cant on the xbox version!, i even emailed EA Sports to call them cunts about not putting a save option in the game, there reply was "oh you can save it after you've played your game!". Oh thanks i'll leave my xbox on all week just so i can save the game.

On another note ive pre-ordered the xbox360. :beers:

But has Cricket 2005 got Fat Umpires, a batting system which takes forever to use and a version of the game which is much worse than the 2004 version!.....i believe so. :roll:

How much will this Brian Lara cricket cost me....for some reason I want to buy it, even thought I only like cricket when the ashes was on. Seems like a waste of money

Anyone with it on the xbox want to lend it to me for a few days....

It gets a lot easier!
If the bowler pitches it around 1m in front of you going for middle-stump, circle back over his head gives you six nearly EVERY time!
