I reckon it should depend whether the bowler is left or right arm.
From Wikipedia (hope this helps)
Over the wicket - a right-handed bowler bowling to the left of the stumps, and vice-versa for a left-handed bowler.
Around the wicket - a right-handed bowler passing to the right of the stumps...
@kurtkz: The keeper is leaking quite a few byes when a right arm bowler bowls around the wicket. Also, when choosing the angle the bowler should stay at that angle regardless of whether there is a right handed or left handed batsman facing (e.g. right arm around the wicket would angle the...
@kurtkz: Just a few things:
- I still get the bug where I select one bowler but another bowler ends up bowling.
- Bowlers are bowling 'horrendously' high full tosses (no no-ball called) and taking wickets with them (happens too frequently)
- Bowlers bowling around the wicket are still bowling...
@BruD: Yea, I edged one off a spinner and the ball evaded the keeper and slip (off a straight drive) but that's about all I have seen so far (in terms of edges off spinners)
@kurtkz: The angle adjustment doesn't happen immediately for both pace and spin bowlers (and you can't change the angle for the bowler not bowling the current over)
Also, the bowler is bowling a lot leg side deliveries around the wicket
@kurtkz: Changing the crease angle for one of the bowlers doesn't work in management mode (and the angle setting should be below the length)
I haven't seen a lot of edges of seam or spin bowlers either (swing bowlers have taken most of the wickets)
@kurtkz: Hmm... Probably these two things (no hurry though)?
- There's a lack of power of good and perfectly timed shots (managed to score only 195 in a test match inning, lots of singles & not a lot of boundaries), and the ball is slowing to a stop way too suddenly still (probably needs further...
Just continuing on bowling angles, would it also be possible to control what angle the bowler bowls (over or around the wicket) in management mode too (like in Cricket Captain)?
Played a leg glance ('A' key) and the keeper went for the catch while batsman set off for a run when this error log came up (using the latest patch):

@kurtkz: Also, right arm bowlers don't seem to try bowling around the wicket when bowling to right handed batsman (same thing happens when left arm bowlers bowl to left handed batsman too)
@kurtkz: The rate the focus meter goes down is fine, just that the batsman don't edge the spinners off defensive strokes when playing down the wrong line (which can happen in a real game) and realistically shouldn't get caught at silly short leg off reasonably well timed sweeps or pulls (got...
@kurtkz: First-class (and even List A?) records aren't shown if I play a 3 or 4 day game, is it possible to add that in? (take for example national team v county/state team or count/state team v county/state team). You could probably also put first class records in career mode as well...
@kurtkz: Just a thought... For syncing player stats, shouldn't it timeout and just continue loading if you have no internet connection or your internet connection drops out (like mine occasionally does)?
