Everyones been crying out for a more realistic game and transmission has nearly delivered.
Bowling isnt supposed to be easy not sposed to be able to bowl perfect balls and get wickets everytime.
Just like real cricket bowling in this game demands patience and bowling to a plan.
That doesnt mean bowling diff types off delieveries every ball or bowling in the yellow ares every ball.

At first i was extremely frustrated with how hard bowling is but now im enjoying this game more than any other since shane warne/brian lara cricket 99.
I can now clean bowl people and get edges to slips and keeper.

Only problem i have now is i find batting too easy but apart from that an the runout bugs im really enjoying this.

Underneath the over aggresive batting and runout problems this is a pretty damn good game well done trnasmission/codemasters.

Agreed. OP, what do you want the game to do? Put you out at the crease with a bat in your hand?

Well if anyone is having a tough time bowling(particularly in tests after 2 wickets down). remember

1.to change your line or length just before stopping the meter. I have been doing this since two days and the most batsmen can score is around 4.2-3 an over.

2.bowl at the light green spot outside off and on other occassions bring the reticule to that special point from either a side or from top or below. just end your bar there by dragging the reitcule from another spot.
That has atleast got me a 1st slip catch off Mohammed Aamer. Katich was the victim.

3.Do the same "change length/line" when bowling a bouncer. I have made the batsmen miss a few by going for the wrong shot.

And all this on Hard.

Aus right now are 178/3 off 43 overs. first innings.

Good tips right there.

How long have you played the game for, OP? It's not the sort of thing you can just play for a couple of days and then write a partially inaccurate review (in my opinion).
