I've been playing this game on PS3 for a few months now and all round I love it. However there is one thing that bugs me so much! Unless I score a 20 ball 100 there is practically no chance of a victory batting second.
Tonight I played 2 T20 games in a row. In the first match my team bowled first and we restricted them to 153/7. We batted and scored 102/1 in our 20 overs. Losing by 50 runs with only 1 wicket down is ridiculous.
Then the next match we bowled first again and they finished with 171/6. Even worse this time we finished the 20 overs with 103/0!!!!! 68 run loss with no wickets lost! WTF????
Also there was another one in which we needed 1 to win from 3 balls after I was caught in the deep and the remaining AI batsmen blocked out each of the three balls!!!
Then in the English 40 over competition earlier today we didn't bowl that well really and conceded 264/4 but the openers batted for a long time and ended up leaving me something ridiculous like 130 needed from 16 or something balls.
What is wrong with this? this isn't the only time this has happened to me. I have noticed right from the start of playing the game that pretty much the only way to win the game bowling first is to bowl the oppontents out for 90 or something ridiculously small.
