The pitch went from green to brown, basically.

Thanks. I really expected Fred Grace to go already… if Ben Hollioake hadn’t gone, I might have risked one more pick before going for him. But I’m glad I got him!

Nice!

It’s easy to overlook Fred Grace, because he bagged a pair in his only test and didn’t take a wicket. But he died 2 weeks later, otherwise he’d have almost certainly improved on that bad start. A genuine all rounder and genuine fast bowler, he costs nothing and tenatively sits at number 7 for...

Serves you right for Ben Hollioake

With Hollioake gone, I'm in a bit of a quandary. While I have a rethink, I'll take Rob Bailey. 0 points, so I'm 7 used, 93 left. Insane middle order for 0 points, that. Bailey was excellent, criminally neglected by England. @Neptune is up - - Rob Bailey Stuart Law Raman Lamba - - - - Ezra...

aaaaaargh. I was sure he was still gonna be available for me later. Great pick.

This was my thinking here, that he was also likely to go, and he was one of the fewer players of that type I had under consideration

Thought about going for another 0 tariff player, there’s 1 in particular I have my eye on who I think may go soon. But nevertheless I’ll risk losing him, to choose Ezra Mosley for my first “spend”, of a princely 7 points. Adding a truly top class Fast Bowler who played just 2 tests because of...

@Yash. is late @ddrap14 is up

Raman Lamba - 0 points 0 used, 100 still remaining Raman Lamba Stuart Law both my players so far are fantastic players with FC averages over 50, but who's career coincided with their national team having some all-time greats in their position, thus limiting their challenges. Quite an engine...

I am certain my physics are default. 1731179697 Lord knows. Bowling far I think

@Yash. is late it’s @mohsin7827 up now

Hey mate, hope you're well. I've just played 2 very fun test matches. Bowling to AI is certainly the weakest point, for a couple of reasons: spin remains overpowered, and seam underpowered - this holds in pretty much all conditions. It's better than it was, certainly better than my memory of...

Yeah they haven’t taken it out after all. It’s just broken. Who would have thought.

My current game is a great example. AI is chasing 451 on a day 4 pitch. Effortlessly getting past 200 opening partnership, seam doing nothing. Literally not an edge in 60+ overs. I couldn’t bring myself to use the part time spinners so went short ball, they’ve crumbled to 250/6 in no time...

I mean, I definitely don’t want to be fielding. I’m ok with the throwing the ball to end etc. but I don’t want to be moving the fielder. I agree the camera cut was not super elegant but I’m not sure what the solution would be. I liked the sense of agency of making the catch myself though. Often...

I recall having occasional problems though I think my experience was the opposite of yours - worked mostly, failed rarely. But it worked fine in several games. The answer was to fix it, not delete it. I recall a long time ago, when AC13 vs DBC was the thing, Ross saying about AC only having...

It’s awful that they took it out

Has anyone read any of the extracts of Jimmy Anderson's book in The Times? His Ghost Writer is an absolute numpty. So overwritten - totally overwrought, overblown confected pseudo literary nonsense, not remotely in Jimmy's voice. I'd have 100% bought the book, but not now. 1730821613 what a...
