If you press 0 (zero) after batting in International Cricket and declare, you will have automatically won.

Multiface pokesHow to enter these

This is a bugfix for International Cricket. The instructions state that the weather conditions "Dry but windy" are favourable to slow bowlers, but due to a bug these conditions do not arise during play.

To fix this and have the missing conditions included, enter the multiface POKE 55346,6. Note that since weather conditions are generated at random, it might be some time before the "Dry but windy" conditions are actually announced.

Type-in hacks
This type-in hack for International Cricket addresses a number of issues. Simply type in, run, and play the tape from the beginning.
These are the fixes:

    A graphical glitch can occur when Gillespie bowls against a batsman with a long name and high score; the gameplay screen scrolls up by one line, but the player animations remain in place, creating an ugly effect. This is because the bowler description "G'llspie Fast-Med" is too long.  Line 5 fixes this by shortening his name further to "G'spie", also amending "Wright" to "J.Wright" (John Wright) to fill in the two-byte gap left in the code.

    Some trivial spelling errors are corrected in line with information from the appropriate Wisdens: "Allot" is "Allott", "Yousef" is "Yousuf" and "Mathews" is "Matthews". To accommodate these changes, "D'Frtas" becomes "D'Ftas" and "M'mott" is now "M'mtt."

    There are no Slow-Medium bowlers in the game, although provision is made in the code. The England team has three Fast bowlers and three Slow, but four Medium (plus one Fast-Med). Line 3 changes Allott to Slow-Med instead of Medium - maybe not accurate, but allows the chance to see what Slow-Med is like. Slow-Med bowlers take six minutes per over.

    The loader also incorporates the Dry but windy conditions bugfix.
