    *Official* Third Test at Old Trafford

    In most countries, light is not an issue until at least 60 minutes after the scheduled end of play - let's make a day go 7½hrs + 30 mins overtime instead of 7hrs+30mins overtime. Gives plenty of time to make use of snicko. And in countries where it does get dark towards the end of a days...

    *Official* Third Test at Old Trafford

    Why was Pietersen so pissed off? He didn't react that way when Khawaja was given out? Showing dissent at an umpires decision should give him a nice match fine :)

    *Official* Third Test at Old Trafford

    Don't players ever learn - I predominantly watch Aussies play - and every time our players try to play for a draw (i.e. not play their natural game and score runs) they inevitably get out. Root is aiming to go the same way here as he did in the 1st dig. Easy to say while I sit behind a...

    *Official* Third Test at Old Trafford

    It's been said time and time again, the "umpires call" on DRS should not result in the bowling side losing a referral. Trott gone now, and probably it was better he was given not out because Harris now has the ***** and a head of steam up.

    But will anyone be awake to record the result in the record books?

    *Official* Third Test at Old Trafford

    Joe Root match stats - 8 runs from 77 balls - way to make Bill Lawry, Geoff Boycott & Chris Tavare look like Adam Gilchrist

    *Official* Third Test at Old Trafford

    The way close games seem to go for us Aussies, that review will probably save England. 9 for 50, Anderson walking on to face his first ball when a down pour occurs and play never resumes. The 30 or so seconds that cook wasted with a referral saves the game :laugh:

    *Official* Third Test at Old Trafford

    Mixed feelings, I'd love to see Warner knock 100 off in 90 odd balls but I'd be just happy to see him fail and be booted from this Aussie squad once and for all. At 33 n.o. presently and also being from NSW, he's now guaranteed himself another 10+ tests before being dropped by the biased Aussie...

    You can understand Broad being disappointed, he knows what it's like when someone hits it and is given not out lol

    thanks James. Hopefully you saw the links I posted in the Cricket Games thread. I've had a few people download, and one person report back that the Mac install actually works. Hoping to get a bit more done next week to make a more playable & stable release.

    *Official* Third Test at Old Trafford

    Australia's recent form means that they ideally want 150 overs to guarantee will bowl out the opposition in I2 - that time has now past. Can't see us declaring before tea, not after just bowling 139 overs, the bowlers need as long as break as possible. Bat 30 mins, 60 mins max into the last...

    Weather permitting, I'd be pretty confident there will be a result.

    Hi again James. Been mucking around getting the game compiling on Mac & PC, the zipped Mac version is 46Mb or so, I'd imagine that the PC version will be about the same size so I'll have to arrange to upload the files somewhere and I'll email you the link if you want to get them and host them here.

    New cricket game in the works

    Funny you should ask that, as I'm going to give it a go today. It's being written in BlitzMax, which cross compiles (without any changes I believe) to both Mac & Linux. I have zero experience with either of these operating systems, but I will have access to a Mac this weekend and am going to...

    I've always been a fan of DRS, but that was disgraceful

    Australia is on a hiding to nothing already without copping that sort of BS
