1. That wasn't bouncer length. 2. It was a fair way outside off stump. 3. It's the first morning of the test, trying to settle in. I got teased into it, damn Aussies! :D

Here is a video of the 11th of the second test. Just showing off the improved bowling lengths and me running out of talent outside off stump. :p 11th over video If you can't see the video, let me know and I'll put it on YouTube, it's just much easier for me to put it into my racing...

1. Playing too aggressively proved my downfall, not necessarily just the lofted shots. Similar story in the test match as well, I played shots at some balls I really shouldn't have and paid the price. 2. In the test match it didn't seem to matter whether I bowled a no ball or not. In the T20...

I've just been battered by the Aussies in a T20 at Harare. Having not played any matches there before I didn't know how small the boundaries were, so some of the shots that went for six may not have on other grounds. The AI was very aggressive, with White and Warner hitting a number of sixes...

1st Test summary: Australia 2nd Innings: Some things you may notice: 1. Run outs - they weren't suicidal, both were very close. 2. Ponting sixes - 3 behind square leg, 3 over cover, 1 over mid-wicket. 3. No balls - :facepalm Clarke, Hussey and Haddin all played 1 or 2 lofted shots as...

It's been sunny all the time so far. I just reduce the size of my pictures in paint and upload them to photobucket. Go image>resize/skew and change the percentage in the resize bit. :) Don't save as a jpeg though, it'll look horrible!

I'm playing it like a test match. Unless it's a really bad ball, I'm not using lofted shots. I could score way quicker than I have been, but it would be risky because a lot of balls are outside off stump and back of a length. I also don't move the batsmen around the crease or advance down the...

End of day two: Once again I've batted (and run) like a plonker and paid the price. :D Scoring has felt easier this time, but as Sureshot said earlier, if you lose concentration for just a moment, you're in trouble. Only played two or three lofted shots and that resulted in a couple of...

I agree, spinners become too effective. :D Ponting was impossible to remove, not even a hint of a chance. He cleared the ropes seven times as well.

End of day one: I batted out my innings (England). I was a little too positive and paid the price in the end, mostly with back foot drives getting edged through to the slips. With Strauss I stuck to mostly playing the cut and driving off of Hauritz, which brought rewards as seen in the...

OK then, just finished the first session of a test match against Australia. Notes: + AI could do with bowling a little more consistently, but still a massive improvement on the original game. + Proper lengths. I can't describe how much of a difference this makes. + I like how it seems to be...

Only batted for 3 overs and this beta patch is so much better than the original game it's not funny. I know I was one of the most critical of the original game, simply because I care so much about getting a proper cricket game and I was massively disappointed at the glaring issues. This is...

Surely the appropriate chant now is "are you England in disguise?"

Is this a choke? :D

It just makes it a lot easier to read. I personally find it very hard reading and understanding your posts because there is next to no punctuation, so I tend to skip over them.

Lets try posting this in the right thread this time.... Match summary at the end of day two: Australian 1st Innings: I was 21/2 after a Brett Lee over. I was a little late on a backfoot drive with Strauss and the edge absolutely flew to Katich at 2nd slip. It looked so awesome...

I never messed with the AI batsman, just my own. I may do some fiddling though after the Aussie innings in my current test. Watson and Ponting were scoring at a stupid rate.

After my 1st innings: Anderson suffered his first test match duck. :D I'll be reducing the timing further. I have Australia 7 down having just avoided the follow on, I'll get some more screens later. Watson hammered 52 off about 28 balls. :sarcasm
