Ea Cricket 07 Stroke Variation Patch V1 2

: Increased frequency of realistic inside edges, leading edges, and dropped catches.

To understand the importance of this patch, one must first understand the flaws of the vanilla game. In the original EA Cricket 07 , shot-making was largely binary.

You will get out playing defensive shots more than aggressive ones. This forces a hyper-aggressive batting style, which feels unrealistic for Test matches.
