Search the net for a "Cricket 09 save"

From the read me:

Copy the saved game to your SD card.

Ensure you've played the game to the point where it freezes (usually on the "create profile" screen.

Copy the save game from your SD card to your Wii System memory.

Job done.

 

I had the same problem.

I got it working by doing the following:

1. Installed latest 222 & 223. 222 as 36/37 and 223 as 36/38
2. Loaded up Configurable Loader and started the game with 223 as the cIOS.

It works great every time.
