2nd Test Adelaide - Eng lead the series 1-0 England took to the field knowing that they had all but thwarted Australia’s attempts to level the series. 254 in around 50 overs would surely be a stretch too far, especially given the fact that playing in an aggressive manner would give England the...

Ahh I wasn’t aware that Marsh was in that side, Travis is a solid pick though :thumbs

In fairness to a lot of these, T20 is an unknown quantity, so may take a game or two

Middle order was light on runs, have to recall big Shaun Marsh for that experience :goggle:

Had one at mid on, leading edge off Anderson, one at fine leg, batsman took on the pull, although it was nowhere near short enough. Also had one at short mid wicket, I was bowling spin so I’m less grateful for them normally, but this one seemed different, almost like a miss timed shot, so I was...

2nd Test Adelaide - Eng lead the series 1-0 A session and a half into day 5 and it’s fair to say that England are the team who look more likely to get anything from this, which having been 271 behind on first innings, will already feel like defeat to the Aussies. Ian Bell and Matt Prior begun...

2nd Test Adelaide - Eng lead the series 1-0 Stumps on day 4 and having trailed by 271 going into their second innings, England have battled hard for 4 and half sessions and even have a lead going into day 5. Early wickets gives Australia a chance, but if Andrew Strauss’ men can add another 100...

AI striker timing 90 Wicket chance 35 but I vary it depending on the pitch. Plus I’ll increase it a touch for the first 10 overs of the new ball Run rate around 35-40 Hope this helps

Starc and Lyon doing all the damage second time round. Nice simple chase for a first win of the series

2nd Test Adelaide - Eng lead the series 1-0 Well after each side batting once, it’s fair to say that the hosts are in front, and by quite some distance. England require, (calculating numbers)… a miracle! After putting up just 229, the tourists were made to toil in the field, with 3 Aussie...

Well I’ve had a little bit more luck down under, albeit I’m playing against the Aussies, however after going 1 up in Brisbane, the lack of swing, low wicket chance (even lower for spin) and a poor first dig with the bat, has put me well and truly up against it. I scrambled to 229 all out and as...

Before I started my current series I had to restart after playing the warm up match. I had set up a full tour, including a warm up match, then 2 tests then a tour match, followed by the remaining 3 tests. After completing the warm up match and just as I was about to play the first test, I...

This could be an interesting, doubt victory is on the cards, but a decent day With the bat and you could get the draw

Very true, I think we all have our different quirks and ‘immersion breakers’ that can either make or break a game. For me, it’s the insignificant stuff, like players having the correct kit and bat and teams wearing the correct kits, therefore the academy and how ‘difficult’ it is make it tough...

1st Ashes Test, The Gabba With just under 2 days to play and both teams still seemingly needing to bat again, this match had draw written all over it. Or at least it should have… Australia collapsed to 187 all out with only Michael Hussey passing 50 and just 3 other batsman making it to double...

Yeah I thought it would make the AI bat better, jury’s out though I guess. I do get plenty of nicks in general, more to slip though than the keeper. This match just gone though, nothing through to the keeper and on 2 through to the slips

Difficulty Hard for each. This test I increased the bounce quite a bit, normally it’s around 45/50 These were taken after 30 overs as well so I had dropped swing from 40 to 30

I’m England mate and I don’t have the exact settings, I’m out at the moment but will post later. I have made a point of tinkering with them depending on location though. For England swing up at around 70 to start with, then decrease it as the ball gets older. For this test (Brisbane) and the...

I think it depends where you get your enjoyment from. I think you can get a decent match out of it, but leading up to that match you might be frustrated when trying to put your teams together, i.e downloading from the academy.

1st Ashes Test, The Gabba Having bowled Australia out for 345 the England openers needed to ensure a good solid start, but at 11 for 1 and then 3 down for 88, you could certainly argue that they hadn’t managed that. In at 5 was Paul Collingwood, who had been in good form the past 12 months. He...
