I agree, but those graphics do look so much better

I always thought Lara was vastly superior in terms of gameplay to EA's feable attempt at a cricket simulation. :huh:

Same. I feel that Lara has always been better and i can't wait for this, roll on March!

I wish there was also some sort of a Classic Team from each National Team as well, i'd love to be able to be the likes of Curtly Ambrose or Joel Garner steaming in.

Quoted in 100% agreement. My brother is an EA cricket fan, why can't they learn they just can't do sports games.

Ah man, top idea - send it in. Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh, Brian Lara, Jimmy Adams - anything to relive those West Indian days.I wish there was also some sort of a Classic Team from each National Team as well, i'd love to be able to be the likes of Curtly Ambrose or Joel Garner steaming in.
True that! Bar a few though, I must say.
Also, counties - get 'em in! I wanna be able to play with Sussex, C&G Trophy winners.
MUSHY!

Despite his exploits I was never that big a fan of Courtney Walsh, didn't rate him alongside several other classic West Indian's such as Garner, Marshall, Holding, Roberts, Ambrose and to a lesser extent the likes of Colin Croft and Wes Hall.

Well in my experience, EA has always been beaten. Cricket, Football and NHL are the three that I used to (foolishly) play on EA. Not anymore.
I have to admit to being a Sussex lad, what with my football allegiances I really should be a Hampshire fan but I couldn't bare being "in bed" with Scummers. Up the Sussex!

I like Brian Lara and had both this and the EA last time but one of them did have counties and classic players. You also had old matches in black and white and stuff. I prefer Lara though because it is more user friendly and not overly complicated like EA seem to manage.

Exactly, I mean who in their right mind would do that :ninja:.

Neither Fraser or Cork I feel, after his series against the Windies in 95 I don't think Cork was consistent enough despite his obvious match winning abilities. 'Gus was a decent seam bowler but never a great one I don't feel. Although not as explosive or unpredictable as Cork, Andy Caddick would have more of a shout in my eyes.
I'd have to have Jack Russell in there, 2nd best keeper England has ever had after Alan Knott just his face didn't fit, a far superior keeper to Alec Stewart anyday.
Athers would have to be in there without a doubt, Robin Smith in the middle order as well with Thorpe that's for sure, i'd also have a place in there for Mr. Flintoff. Graeme Hick despite being one of my favourite players of all time wouldn't get in there as his test career really did flounder against Pakistan in 96.

Jack Russell, legend. Never went a game without his hat.
Thorpy, yes, Atherton, yes.
I'm sorry, but I have to raise this, in a Brian Lara Cricket topic;
Raise your hand if you owned it, raise your hand if you spent ages playing it, raise your hand if you remember all the quotes.
"That was a textbook boundary"
CC - cheeky bastard.
