Remember this is not a sprint. Each and every aspect is being looked at. At this mo the focus is on making the human and ai batting more satisfying and steps in the right direction have been made.
With ai batting the focus is to try and get some way towards playing the ball on merit rather than the timing of the shot down to ball speed: finding that sweet spot is quite a tricky but it plays much better than it has done.
So in the human batting sessions I have had I have really had to knuckle down: waiting for that right ball, trying to squeeze the gaps.....as soon as I started to try playing out of the ‘v’ to balls that weren’t quite wide enough I got myself into trouble....
....my last three 25 odd over sessions....35 for 5, 43 for 3 and 62 for 4.
Now this is of course also down to my batting “skill” but before I could score quite easily at over 5 an over.....
It makes me want to start and complete a series, the narrative, the to and fro is back in the game as far as human batting is concerned.
But it is very stop start at the mo because other aspects still need tuning. It is just testing, testing, testing. What If I do this or that? What happens if I come out slogging away in a test or in a t20? And the ai?
Questions, questions, questions.
It is very much an exercise of emperical scientific experiment....When the results start to come through its very satisfying but the work in the lab is sometimes a grind....and I am just an observer, we are not the ones doing the actual work in that sense!
Ai batting is much improved and makes the whole human bowling experience much more satisfying. However they are playing well but not scoring positively enough.
There are some unsung heroes around the place who quietly go about doing their thing, ignoring the noise and getting on with it.
Me? I’m a loudmouthed lout who needs a kick up the Gordon Ramsey.....praise to the unsung heroes!
@zimrahil surely post of the day, surely?
