As an opening batsman I would love the challenge of facing Lillee and Thompson. As for bowling to someone, I think Darryl Cullinan would be fun. See if he could pick my wrong-un, I highly doubt it.
Not sure if he has been mention yet.. Graham Smith.
I did actually write a big story why I don't like him but thought this might cover it. He talks a good game and thats it. He hasn't really performed well against the aussie's yet.
I've just started a new season of winter cricket in brisbane, QLD. The conditions are great, we play on turf wickets most weeks. The games are 35 overs a side one day games. After one season away from the game I have started ok 2, 27 and 46. I'm a RH Opening Batsman by the way.
Plenty of work...
I've got three bats at the moment, GN Millenium LE, BAS Vampire Blaster and a AS One.
All very good bats in there own right, currently using the Millenium as its my favourite.
The Bas has a awesome pickup and power.. In the first 6 innings I used it I hit 5 sixes, I usually hit 3 or 4 a year!
I've had the game for a few months and have never ran the computer out.. A few times they have hesitated but got back.
Also this should go in the bug section but hey, while batting I received a no ball which I hit into the outfield and the catch was dropped and I tried to take 2 runs, the...
That cracked me up.. Funny stuff
I've met most of the current aussie team, they have all been very nice. I think Stuey MacGill and Kerry O'Keefe were the best/funniest cricketers i've spoke to.
Has anyone got a bat pad catch? I've only had a few from short balls and staking the field in close.
Last night in a test against Australia, I got out to a close catcher off Brett Lee, played forward a little late on the ball nicked it onto the pad and the silly mid off drived forward to...
You usually have one good partnership which lasts almost half (or more) the innings. I know when playing India, Dravid and Laxman just wouldn't get out or score many runs. Against Australia its usually Ponting and Martyn
If you aren't scoring any runs off them they will bowl very long spells. Try hit a few overs of 6-8 runs and they should change the bowler. I just played a series against Australia with the West Indies, I had McGrath and Gillespie bowling 15 over first spells, then having Brett Lee and Shane...
ok, there are some usefull tips here.
I'd also try an occasional swinging full toss. Start outside off and swing it in.
I also try bowl with a off spinner, deep third man, gully, 2nd slip and point fielders. The rest don't really matter, bowl some fast then slow full outside off, they...
The career player as a batsman is still ok, you can improve each game. Another career player fault is the fielding, how often do you get catches and if ever a runout. Your player remains a liability in the field.
I gave up on my career fast bowler, I've been playing RPIC for about 3 months and his slower ball is quicker than the stock fast ball... Like someone already said unless you are playing the minnows its hard to get top order wickets with the slow fast bowler.
I've created a career Off Spinner now.
