Brilliant Game

[Tom Halsey]

Just got the PS2 version of BLIC, brilliant. Best cricket game I've played, even if bowling speeds is a bit annoying. Is it me or is bowling harder on County or Test? One more thing, what the hell is the green/red bowling cursor about? At first I thought green indicated a good ball, but it seems completely random - I bowl a good ball, it comes up red. I bowl a bad ball, it comes up green...

well the green thingy is how hard it is to time the ball...red is easy timing, green is hard timing.

Cheers - why do some balls differ from others then?

One more thing, is the 'Slog Mode' difficulty level meant to be easy or hard? Or is it just to make the CPU slog?

It makes you score 30 an over.

I see. So that's why the Sobers six sixes was so easy...

I'm bloody stuck on Sobers' sixes!

I did it on the second attempt. I'm now stuck on the Pakistan - India match in the 2003 WC - as India you need to get 273 without Tendulkar getting out. The runs are easy, keeping Tendulkar in before getting bored and slogging out is not.

I finally did that one and breezed through the rest of them. The India vs Australia was great fun, I hit 360 in about 15 overs.
