Test Match on a knife edge going into Day 4.

Ali takes 5/90 as Australia lose 6 wickets for 31 runs after Smith (87) and Voges (65) compiled century partnership.

Stumps Day 4
Australia 209-9

Well this session had literally everything. Crazy dismissals, a proper collapse. Play and misses. Edges. An edge that didn't carry. A dubious glove to the keeper.

Really has set up a fantastic Test Match.

Haha gives me something to do while everyone is at work!

If people have requests, or things they want me to really test thoroughly then let me know!!

@MattW you need to give these settings a crack mate!

 

[TerryAlderman]

Your updates are great and reading them will keep me occupied until the real third test starts.

England chase 277 for victory in 1st Test after Anderson takes wicket in first over of Day 4.

Cook (0) dismissed for England with 0 runs on the board after a stunning Smith catch to give Australia the perfect start on a deteriorating pitch.

Cook Dismissal:

Full session highlights to come tomorrow when I can see straight!

Going to be a challenge I reckon. AI with annoying ring fields making it hard to find the gaps!!

You're welcome. The ring fields are mine

Great match so far. Have you shared these teams on the academy?

@wealey88 @cooks1st100

Trying to set up some teams based on this. Can you clarify a couple of things.

1. Are the numbers you are using for skills the boxes on the scale or the little increments you get using Left and Right on the D-Pad?
2. What 'Mentality' are you using?

Thanks a lot.

Hello mate. By increments i mean 1 full box of skill. If that makes sense.

Mentality mine are all set to precise. I found that this plays better than conservative. Conservative seems to constantly try to hammer the same gap over and over![DOUBLEPOST=1437680346][/DOUBLEPOST]

Well they are quality. Genuinly having to play out maidens as I cant pierce the gaps. Then a full wide one... Drive... Snick gone!!

Im loving the fact that 277 on this pitch will genuinely be a struggle.

Also really like how the spinner came into his own second innings. First innings picked up a couple of breakthroughs. But on day 3 really ran through them after seamers did damage with new ball.

Going on this game alone. Really well balanced match

@wealey88 Please share the teams on the Academy whenever its possible for you. Have set up two teams exactly the way you mentioned in the other thread. So far, haven't been able to reproduce the bowling experience that you're having.

Same here. 30 Overs in, not a single edge.

So odd. On Pro?

Its so irritating that this cant be replicated more frequently. For me the game would be near to perfect.

Yet absolutely no discussion has occured around the issues.
