5 underrated players in Vivo IPL patch for EA Cricket 07

EA Cricket 07 brings back old memories for most youngsters and it remains a fun game even after a decade of its release. It is one the most realistic cricket games around and is still played by many, albeit with mods and third party patches.

Cricket 07 came with various modes and already had the NatWest T20 as a part of the game. The emergence of IPL obviously meant a new patch was needed for the game and Vivo IPL 9 is the latest patch based on the tournament. The patch installs new rosters, in-game menu, facial graphics and IPL teams to EA Cricket 07, allowing the user to play IPL mode in the game with their favourite team and players.

Nevertheless, which are the best players in the game? Or are there any others who deserve better? Let’s look at five IPL players who have excelled on the pitch and deserve a better rating in Vivo IPL patch for Cricket 07.

#5 Corey Anderson (80)

 

Corey Anderson is a batting all-rounder for New Zealand and Delhi Daredevils in the IPL. He shot to fame by scoring the fastest century in ODI cricket in 36 balls against Zimbabwe in 2014, breaking the 17-year record of Shahid Afridi who had achieved the same feat in 37 balls. The Kiwi has scored 509 runs in 24 IPL matches at an average of 31.81.

In the game, Anderson has a batting skill rating of 80 while his bowling accuracy rating is 84. These ratings aren’t bad, but for the performance by Corey Anderson in real life cricket, they seem low. The game rates Anderson’s back foot shots at 80, the area being his weakest in batting attributes. While in the bowling department Anderson’s lowest rating is 79 for his seam bowling.

Anderson has no batting weaknesses and in fact, excels in all batting strengths available in Cricket 07. Keeping this in mind, and looking at his performance in IPL and international cricket, it is surprising his batting skill rating is a mere 80.
