Please help

Ok... this is getting very frustrating. I downloaded a cracked version of EA Sports Cricket 2004 using Bit Torrent. It seems to me that it is originally a playstation game, and perhaps the crackers have modified it for PC use. I had no problem whatsoever installing and running it though. The only problem I'm having is with gameplay. The controls of this game are almost the same as Cricket 2002 which I kind of mastered couple of years ago. However, I can't seem to play any shot as a batsman, except for defensive (forward/backward) shot. I tried remapping the controls. I even tried just about any combination of keys. It just doesn't seem to allow me to play any stroke. Therefore, even after bowling my opponents out for less than 70/80 in an ODI on hard level, I can't even score more than 7/8 odd runs in reply (thanks to extras). I know that strokeplay is disabled on easy level. But I tried all levels. It just doesn't seem to work. It won't let me play any shots even during net practice. Does anyone have a clue what I might be doing wrong? Anyone else had similar problems? Any help will be appreciated.

PS: No need to bash me for using cracked/pirated software.
