"Brain Lara International Cricket"

I'm torn between getting this and Cricket 2005 on the PS2.

Does anyone have either, if so what one do you suggest?

I went out and got cricket 2005 today just to see what its like.

I must admit for EA i really like it. The bowling lets you have alot more control as does the bating, but i find the bating side alot harder. So far my highest score is only 76! But i did get West Indies all out for 27!

Yeah I have the demo from OXM and I have noticed that a couple of times..good game though...a little frustrating as all the computer does is play singles along the ground so no real chance of a catch...and it slowly wittles away my lead. I suppose I could do the same..but wheres the fun in that...prefer slogging it for 6 (and then getting caught next ball)!

Anyone else keep getting caught out when you can see the ball bouncing first in the replays on Lara?

I agree, it's class.

I'm a little "happy" with the bat, mind. Top innings so far in a test match is only 183! Though in the same match Harmison took 6-12.

I should turn the difficulty up really, but hey, you know...

Which one did you get?

Chose this for my GAD, and it came this morning, and I have to say it’s bloody brilliant!

Well EA = good presentation etc Lara = a good game. The EA one has more modes but i would pick Lara

Another note, fantastic thread title.

Class.

It's not. It used to be, but not any more. Well, it doesn't exist anymore, but yeah. Madden is awesome, and one of the most slickly produced and comprehensive sports series around.

I'll be getting BL as well.

Looks pretty damn good.
