ok, played mine quite a bit now and i have to say its not as good as 1st thought. The fielding is lame, at time its almost as if they are running on the spot as the ball trickles past them. The difference in levels between "easy" and "normal" is massive, almost impossible to get the ball away, as for "hard", forget it!
The pitches all behave the same, with the cracks in the same place every time.
Its an ok game at best which surprises me with codemasters behind it (Brian Lara cricket). Here's hoping they or someone else improve on this.
