It's like conservative batsmen will play conservatively, but then if they haven't reached their 3, 4 per over required rate, will try and slam a six or four regardless. Unless it's a tight ODI chase, conservative batsmen shouldn't be worried about attaining 4 an over. It's tough because you are marrying up playing realistically to the situation, with the differing players. I mean think of the difference between Cook and Sehwag. Both test match openers.
I'd be interested in seeing your results. I have too small a sample size at the moment in 1.6. Is the beta team engaging with BA for the next patch or has everything died a death somewhat?
This is exactly what happens. In a way it makes the conservative batsmen the most likely to randomly slog, because they score slowly then suddenly slog to arbitrarily keep up the run-rate. whereas a more attacking player will get that rate up more "normally". a big flaw in the design.
