Has anybody played the new EA "Cricket 2004" PC-game?

I'd like to get it for my brother in law who is a big cricket fan but I just want to know if it's realistic enough for a knowledgable fan.

Thanks.

Boycott earns respect

leg spinner McGill asks to be left out of australia's trip to Zimbabwe, ""I told then that I was uncomfortable about touring Zimbabwe at this point in time and maintaining a clear conscience," he said.

20 yr old cameron white is his replacement.

if you are not sure why he's not going and why england refused to go there-

Zimbabwe continues to be suspended from the Commonwealth because of President Robert Mugabe's reign of terror.

Mr Mugabe has been condemned internationally for rigging last year's presidential elections and evicting white farmers.

Race-related cricket tensions have escalated with 15 senior Zimbabwean players refusing to play for their country after Test captain Heath Streak stood down, claiming the side was being selected on race instead of form.

I am a huge cricket fan and own the game on Playstation2, and can honestly say that it's well worth buying if you like cricket. The graphics and gameplay aren't quite as smooth on the PC version then they are on the PS2, so if your brother in law owns a Playstation2, get that version if you can.

It will be interesting to see if the Zimbabwe tour even goes ahead with Zimbabwe likely to field a second string side against the Aussies. It hardly seems worth the effort of us touring there, except it will give Shane Warne a chance to overtake the world record of test wickets if he can bowl well. We should win the series comfortably if it goes ahead.

Nassar Hussain Retires from Cricket[/URL]

It's good to see sports people retiring on their own terms and not having that decision made for them. The one thing I'll remember most about Nasser Hussain is his double hundred in the opening test of the 1997 Ashes Series against us.
