This thread has been linked to the game 'Cricket 2002'.
I recently bought EA Sports Cricket 2002 but am experiencing real difficulty in playing the game. I have been playing it for about a week and still against the likes of Scotland and Kenya i'm knocking about thirty runs off 10 overs (thats if I make it that far, i'm usually all out after about 5/6 overs)
I really am getting quite demoralised, anywhere I hit the ball I get caught especially if i use the L1 button to get more power. Whilst my CPU opponent strokes 4's and 6's all over the park and generally has me beaten in 3/4 overs. I have tried practice nets but this really is of little help, I have a good grasp of the real game so i don't think my shot selection is a problem. I would merely like to hit the boundary on a few occassions!
I have seen a couple of cheats for better batsmen etc but this doesn't really interest me, I just want to be able to play the game properly and put up a decent fight. Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks very much.

Thanks everyone especially agent under fire, however, i'm still finding it very difficult I think the main problem is in the timing of shots. I have tried the practice nets but that isn't working. Bowling is ok, shot selection is ok but i'm just not getting the timings right. Any help would again be greatly appreciated before my ps2 meets the wall at very high speeds.
this game is rubbish but its the best cricket game on the market.
Ok this is a tip Chose Australia then only pick the fastest bowlers bowl at their feet and you wil get them out for about 50-72 runs
Get Super Batsman
Go to the main menu and pick 'Inside EA Sports' On that screen press R2, Circle, L2, R1, Select
you can really never go out you will hit a six by playing a cut or really any shot if yo block you it would almost go for 4
my best score using the cheat is 328 with niel mcenzie from S.A
