Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Is that an accurate depiction of game play?
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

No, it's far more fast paced then the real thing...

Though I do admit that this version is a little addicting...

My highest at bat so far is only 17...

I'll do my gob impression: sit and watch you guys play and drink large quantities of beer iced tea.
But I have to be somewhere on friday, so I hope you finish by then.

Eschewing LJ's cheating method (which got me out at 32), I find that the game freezes up at the half-century mark - 51 and 52, going well and then the final 6 seems to baffle it entirely. And that's with 60Mbps.... and ignoring the bafflingly slow "celebration" at 50 and 100..... I managed 104.

The game is totally inaccurate. Snails just don't move that fast and the entire team is forward of the wicket. Honestly, no keeper? No slips or gully? Ridiculous. And they never get to bat so there's no way they can ever win. (In fact, they are always trailing) :lol:

Also they never change bowlers, which is highly unlikely, and their chap is equally adept at spin, bouncers, fast balls and so on - but no yorkers AND never anything off the wicket. I tried for hours to get a leg-bye, to no avail.

Might as well call it "slugfest". :roll:

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

I'm too busy with the real thing...
Champions Trophy, Group B, Cardiff:

Sri Lanka 236 all out (49.2 overs): Dickwella 73, Junaid 3-40, Hasan 3-43

Pakistan 237-7 (44.5 overs): Sarfraz 61, Fakhar 50, Pradeep 3-60

Pakistan won by three wickets


Pakistan will face England in the Champions Trophy semi-finals on Wednesday after a thrilling three-wicket win over Sri Lanka in Cardiff.

Junaid Khan (3-40) and Hasan Ali (3-43) impressed for Pakistan as Sri Lanka were bowled out for 236, losing four wickets for six runs.

Pakistan also struggled with the bat before captain Sarfraz Ahmed's unbeaten 61 saw them to a memorable victory.

India will face Bangladesh in the other semi-final at Edgbaston on Thursday.

Face it LJ, there are a few women out there who can do better than their male counterpart when it comes to hand-eye coordination.
