How to unlock the ODI Champions achievement in Ashes Cricket 2009 - Definitive Guide
A word of warning: there is a glitch with this game - if you save in between matches, you cannot get the achievement. Saving mid match is fine and should be done often.
As with all the tournament achievements for this game, simulating at all makes the achievement unattainable.
Put the difficulty to easy.
It starts from the quarter finals & you have to play 3 matches.
Save often & try to win the toss each time. This way you can put them into bat. Bowl them out & know what target you need to reach.
This trophy is actually fairly easy, the description says you need to win an ODI tournament (ODI's are 50 overs in real life unless rain affected) but you can actually choose how many overs you want to play. Select 5 as this is the lowest you can have, then select 'Tournament', then 'Quarter Final'. Then when it comes to selecting teams, select the worst teams. These are:
· Zimbabwe
· Kenya
· Ireland
· Bangladesh
· West Indies
· New Zealand
· Sri Lanka
· Choose England/Australia (best teams) as your team, remember to toggle between CPU/player.
In the quarter final you will get the opponent above or below you in the select teams list, example in the list above it would be Zimbabwe vs. Kenya etc. But if you were England you would be drawn second so it would be Zimbabwe vs. England.
Semi final & finals are just a random draw I think, just win both to get this trophy. Remember to always field first, they will get a small total if you bowl well (I think Sri Lanka got 5 or something when I played through this tournament), and you should be able to beat that total and the win the match in a couple of overs.
