On "Hard" difficulty, the computer chases 300+ runs in 40 overs, but occasionally glitches—running three runs when the ball is dead or refusing to play a shot to a full toss.

So, power up that old XP machine. Install the exclusive pack. Choose Australia vs. India at the SCG. Set the field to "Aggressive." And remember: sometimes, the greatest cricket games aren't the ones with the biggest budgets—they're the ones with the biggest hearts.
