Using save states on the PS2, I saw that the toss is the same while using a save state. I don't know what math the game does for deciding the toss outcome but I tried using a save state while running Test Match on the PCSX2 emulator and I got Scotland to choose batting every time I reloaded the state.

Gonna try and find out where exactly the game decides the toss. My guess is it decides the toss immediately after choosing match conditions on the screen where it shows you the pitch types and weather, but I'll check it out once.

Also, would save states be allowed in such a case in a speedrun? I'd say go for it tbh because it is kinda annoying to get bad tosses each time you start.

I'm getting this weird glitch on a lot of my runs and even playing normally. This is the first time I got it on recordings but I've been getting this for the last 2 months. Should a run with this be allowed?

It's basically a bowling glitch where the batsman just goes superspeed to the boundary if a ball is slow enough when spin bowling. Have a look:

• You can know if you've won the toss or not. Pressing S on the first possible frame after loading into the match shows you if you have lost the toss. The toss screen appears with the choice made by the other team. If the lost toss screen does not appear, you have won the toss. You will get to choose Bat or Bowl in normal time.

• When playing with Australia, take Warne and McGill against teams with more Left Handed Batsmen (mostly Sri Lanka). You can bowl similar balls as you would do with the pacers against them. Bowl it in the legs and spin it towards the stumps. They get bowled just like with pacers. Works better on Normal pitches than Dry and Dusty ones but still works the same way although with a lower success rate.

I'll add more as I find them!

EDIT: Oh yeah and also LiveSplit now works with Global Hotkeys on for Cricket 07

I'm gonna try doing it live. Can we get a category for the full run (separately for England and Australia)?
