I wanna get it, but I've heard it's all full of bugs especially in the Xbox version where they forgot to even include a save option. 2004 was full of bugs too so I'm guessing all they've really done is improved the graphics a little and not bothered with much else. there's also another game called Brian Lara cricket 2005 which I've heard has better overall gameplay but less shot selection and dated looking graphics so I'm not sure which I'll go with, I might get both and give which ever one I like second to dad for christmas

Heh, looks like you're the only one here who even has a chance to get this game. They don't sell it in the US. None of the rugby games either.

It does look pretty good though.

yeah, there are the PC versions but who wants to play sports sitting at the computer when you can play them slouched on the couch eating chips

then of course there are the folks with mod chips who could still play it but you'd have to order it in from another country

then of course youd still need to know what the cricket was

then of course you'd have to care

well I got the game, and man it's hard, it'll take me a while to get good at it I'd say

I forgot cricket was a sport.

I'm still waiting for EA Sports Running of the Bulls 2005.

Nice! Now if they can just better the graphics they'll have a hit on their hands.

bulls are scary, but are they as scary as a pakistani fast bowler?



I think not

well now I've played both games and overall cricket 2005 is better than brian lara but brian lara is easier and cos I don't have the time to get good at 2005 I'll probably go with brian lara. theres almost a simatry in that everything one game did wrong the other did right, if you could somehow merge the 2 games it'd be the best cricket game ever... or the worst

I was watching this crazy spanish sport where it was like rugby except everyone dressed like it was like the 16th century and instead of tackling you just beat the crap out of people
