Sham
At the moment I would be willing to bet vital parts of my anatomy that this game is either:
- A Sham and never comes out
- Another screwed up 'beta' which is dodgy as hell.
Face the facts people, what have we seen other than the word of Duff, and a beta which anyone who can click a mouse could have done in Visual Basic in about 5 minutes flat, then made all the buttons nice and the colours pretty.
I know the game was going to be free and he's doing it out of the kindness of his heart, but people on various forums have got to look at the facts and realise the chance of this game coming out is about the same as Jennifer Lopez staying married to the same bloke for more than 5 minutes.

Cricket Web is one of the sites hosting the game and I've been provided with download links for Cricket Master. Just that those download links don't work as yet because of what seems to be some last minute changes.
I would expect the game to be released within the next 24 hours however.

Unfortunetly, Duff has disapeared again and the game is no closer to being available the it was yesterday, last week or last month.James said:
I repeat what I said on the LASTX forum...who has actually seen a working version of the game or evening some coding?
Why are there 'last minute changes'? Isn't this a public beta test?
I think we've been all taken for fools.

I think people should allow the developers of this game some breathing space. I see no benefit in labelling it a 'sham' without evidence. It hangs in the balance - at least let the developers defend themselves either with the release of the beta version or by explaining what is going on regarding the constant delays in release date.
It is very unfair to publicly criticise them at this stage. I'm all for criticism but try to make it constructive, otherwise wait and see what happens in the next few days. As far as I'm aware they haven't set another release date since the 1st April, so its fair to suggest that they might still be working on one or two issues before release.

Hi Gio - I'm very well thanks. Hopefully you've had chance to look at the screenshots of Cricket Coach.
I've been following that thread on Lastx.net. I'm not really willing to comment either way because it would be unfair to do so at this stage.

The bugs in the f**king screenshots are so obvious now.. Note how on the right it says for the ING Cup, 22-26? 4 days? Plus it says Vic vs. SA, and the points are NSW and Vic. And note in the middle how it says NSW won by an innings and 88 runs? NSW had a 2nd innings. Unlikely scores:
Victoria 223 a.o. (Moss 123, Harvey 56, MacGill 4/103)
NSW 542 a.o. (Thornely 69)..
etc.
Plus it says, "Team Rating: 8 stars", but if you count the stars next to his name there are 7.
