Ouch that's rough, I'm about to go to Indi, cant decide weather to play 3 seamers and Murali or 2 seamers and 2 spinners. Nailed on either way I get it wrong

This is by a mile the greatest ball I have ever received from the AI. Drift and spin, did me like a kipper. Didn’t even mind getting out to this bad boy!

Easy done. I went from 170-5 to 200-10 last night. Spinner tortured me. Can't wait for the Windies quicks...

Came for the video, wasn’t disappointed.
Bowling a right hander round his legs with a right hander over the wicket, impressive!
Good luck for the rest of your thread

Cheers man. And the drift! Was such a good ball I didn't mind getting out!

During the beta I had a similar wicket, getting out and not caring because of the delivery. Imran Tahir over the wicket to my left-handed batsman. Wide and pitching on leg side, I looked to nudge down the legside. Turned out to be a googly that then spun across my batter and clattered into the stumps.

Restarted this competition as
1) I was realistically never going to finish a 4 round robin competition playing every game
2) I wanted to make some changes to squads and players
First up I’m Sri Lanka playing away at West Indies - baptism of fire.

46/4 AT LUNCH! Off 29 overs.
Luckily there’s a lot of rain about all 5 days. If I go into lockdown I might escape with a draw
