Ihave this game on Ps2 and i always play on hard, it's more of a challenge. Some Notable Achivements of mine Include:
Mosts Runs Off An Over: 43 With John Davison of Canada playing for South Australia. (1st ball of the over was a noball, so i hit 7 sixes + 1 for the nb). The Bowler was Bichel of Queensland.
Highest Player Score in An ODI: 375 off 180 balls With Jan Berry Burger of Namibia In a World Cup Final Against Australia ( i took 34 off the first over from McGrath)
Highest Team Score in a Test Match: 1412 all out as England vs South Africa (Triple Tons for Trescothic and Vaghaun in a 600 run opening stand)
Best Bowling in a ODI: Rudi Van Vuuren of Namibia In a World Cup Semi Final vs England 10 overs, 8 Maidens, 8 for 7 including a Triple Hat-trick (5wkts in a row. THIS WAS PURE LUCK BASICALLY! i bowled line and length for 8 overs but didn't pick up a wicket then in my 9th over BANG! snicks, diving catches, LBW's, Stumps Flying. Brilliant Stuff, especially when yor only defending 121 as i collasped MAJORLY.
Best Test Bowling: Stuart Macgill of Australia 10 for 0. I cheated basically. it was a damp Old Trafford Wicket so i opened the bowling with stuart and bowled long hops on middle with no pace. The batsmen either leave it and get bowled/LBW, swing and miss or pop up a catch to the men close in. The good old wicket every time ball!
Highest Partnership in a Test Match: 1001 between A.Flower and G.Flower for Zimbabwe vs India in India. I was 4 for 20 but with Andy Opening and Grant Coming in at Six managed a revival of sorts.
Andy 650n.o (my highest test score) and Grant 440 bolwed Tendulkar killed them. i batted sensibly and barely hit a ball in the air. I batted most of 2days for these runs, so i feel quite proud.
My Favourite partnership: a Last Wicket partnership between Klass Jan Noortwijk and E.Scheferli of Holland got 120 runs which won me the world cup vs South Africa.
I love this game!
