I didn't like the control setup on the PC version. I didn't like the fact that the PC version either had no chance of rain whatsoever, or when you put in a cheat to enable rain, it never stopped raining. I didn't like the fact that you couldn't create new teams, except in the PC version albeit with some very awkward reverse-engineering where you had to completely replace existing teams if you wanted another different team. I didn't like the fact that yorkers were almost impossible to block in the first several overs of the innings, especially if you were a left-handed batsmen facing a right-arm fast bowler over the wicket. I didn't like the fact that the wicketkeeper would sometimes be standing 30 yards out of position when the bowler bowled. I didn't like the fact that when you were facing a spin-bowler and you deliberately left the ball, then more often than not the ball would go for byes. I didn't like the fact that test matches were only around 75 overs per day in this game as opposed to 90 overs per day as in real life. Even for a PS1, the graphics of this game were on the lower end. I played this game for 4 years on the PS1 in my younger days.
