There was a cut scene of the bowler's front footover the line, so I'd assumed it was a front foot no ball. Commentary didn't say free hit mind, so it's possible that the previous ball being a bouncer was called no-ball for that reason..

I know this is hardly major etc, but isn't it a free hit following a no-ball in the pro-40?

Just got to 56*off 33 in a pro 40 game, and the umpire signalled no ball. So next ball I try to whack out of the country... Except I'm then given out caught on deep mid wicket boundary.. no problem, it was a no ball previous ball, so this must be a free hit... oh.. I'm out? Damn.

Woo finally got a 50 in career mode!

I'm scoring 20's and 30's in career mode usually before doing something daft.

So the key part of your message then is to hit the ball where there are no fielders. Damn. Never thought of that one!

Point remains though. Even Murali and Warne occasionally got smacked all over. The point is that spin isn't particularly brilliantly represented visually.

Spinners will occasionally get hammered, especially straight by the AI. It's got nothing to do with how much visible spin you're getting though. What RPM are you getting?

Yes you do. The spin doesn't actually show up very well on the pitch though.

Scariest thing is even if all his first 10 runs were 2's rather than a mix of 2's and 1's, then that means he's hit 83 off the next 21 balls all while claiming to be taking his time. That's 4 a ball for the last 21 balls.

You restarted while the save icon was on screen? There's your problem.

Hmm.. County Championship in career mode. Leicester 95/10 Lancs 346/2 dec in 100.3 overs before tea on day 2. Given that there are batting points for 350 and 400 in 110 overs, seems a strange declaration from my skipper!

I did, just chose to alter the tone of it slightly... :D

Certainly agree about the first part. As an off spinning allrounder I just got called up to the test team, and replaced Matt Prior! Ian Bell has had to take the gloves. That's just silly.

Just completed the first season and only rained once.. wish it would do that in real life for Lancs!

4 rotations and we get to bowl a tank? Oohhh :D

Ta mate! Nah but seriously, at least one other person we both know has admitted the same mistake, so that's why I'm putting my hands up and saying it. Got a new career high of 36 today before nicking off to the keeper, so I'm getting there...

Or alternatively open up the option which doesn't hurt those who don't want it, and makes others happier with the game..

I can regularly get to the teens now, but struggling to push on. Just think amateur is a bit too easy and pro a bit too tricky for casual players.

I agree. That's why I went as the bowling allrounder to at least give me the mix of easy and very hard!
