I just started playing the game again, and am enjoying it. However I suffered a really wierd bug. I don't remember exactly what happened but I was playing "Leeboy" (who ran down the wicket suspiciously often, but overall a fair player) and I essentially ended up in the position where the bowling...

I think something has to be done (in a patch) urgently to address the imbalance between spinners and pacers. For example in my last match, my opponent scored 34 a.o. after at one point being 28-0 thanks to a huge 28 run over off Hinds. He then lost all his wickets facing my RFMs and RFs. Then...

I know, but even that is done poorly. For example, in the averages and strike rate ones, it is dominated by people who have only played 1 or 2 matches and it only goes down to the 20th person, so I can't see my own stat. And whilst you can start a tournament here, it is a lot less convenient...

I was joking - I was certainly not suggesting you were a quitter - I just meant that the whole game is really irritating me because it is so bug ridden and there is no ladder. I'm sorry if I offended you but I wasn't talking about you I was just talking in general. And I'm certainly not afraid...

Unfortunately I've become so disillusioned with the quitters, lack of a ladder/any incentive to play whatsoever that I'm seriously considering uninstalling and pulverising the disk into the ground until it becomes a fine powder.

I just had what would have been one of my most exciting matches so far. Batting first, I started poorly and collapsed horrifically to 30-6, with just Mark Boucher left of the batsmen. He then led a spirited recovery, top scoring (by miles) with 47, steering South Africa to 107/7 thanks to some...

I totally agree with you - spinners are easy both to slog and work away for 2s and 3s. What I was trying to work out is whether bowling them earlier, when the batsmen are unsettled, is a good way to limit damage and pick up a few wickets. What I've found is it is somewhat successful - I haven't...

Recently I've had a few decent matches - chased down 38 in a 5 over match. I've been trying a brand new tactic - opening the bowling for South Africa with Harris :) Am I mad? Probably, but he did take 6-5 including a hat-trick in the first three balls in my last match! I really want to try a...

I just played Nash as well. I lost, partly due to him bowling wide off side yorkers all the time and partly due to personally running stupidity. Haven't had a good match in a long time, and I'm starting to get tired of online due to there being no chat function, no ladder and too many lost...

The thing that annoys me most about people who quit, particularly when the lag is bad, is that they play out half the match, then quit. If there's lag, I would understand and accept someone quitting straight away, but not half way through... if connection dropped though that's ok but the timing...

Just played half a 2020, but with such bad lag I bowled my opponent out for 0. I felt really bad until he quit. Anyone online please join my 2020 - and don't quit :) Sigh - I've started about 4 matches today. Completed 0. Make that 5.

I didn't think he was - I've completed matches with him before, and his no.11 had just scored 20 off Duminy - would've thought he'd have quit long before then.

Just scored by far my best batting performance yet! (Admittedly vs Bangladesh) 368/7 in the end but after 9 overs I was scoring at 24/over - 135* for De Villiers and 102 for Smith. However connection was lost with IS_Leon with him 89-9 - however having played him before I will assume in my...

Just played a game, South Africa (me) vs Pakistan. Won after a horrific batting start (15-5) but suffered a horrendous bug where the player on odd numbered runs would run only half the pitch. This meant that I could only hit 2s 4s and 6s or would be out. Very irritating and another bug that...

I am a non-posting member here. Member since 2006 and this is first post :D . Personally I hate the 5/10 over stuff - the longer the better due to my inability to slog. However I have to balance that out with the (rather large) chance of disconnect/crash/bug - playing out 50 overs only to be...
