Bowling in Test Matches

[barmyarmy]

Here's my effort at a reply on test level as England:
Even when my batsmen had a few runs and were set the slightest mistiming resulted in an edge behind. My tail was as bad as the Aussies too!

Yeah it is sometimes very difficult to play some bowlers, especially with the pace problem !!! One ball is a thunder bolt and the next one is at turtle pace

you could print screen

I am playing on a PC.

How do you do it? I tried combinations of CTRL and Print Screen and CTRL, SHIFT and Print Screen but don't know if I've actually taken a screenshot. Where do you find the files once you've taken a screenshot? In the BLIC directory?

After that you have pushed print screen go to paint and press CTRL+V to paste the taken screenshot !!! Otherwise use Fraps to take screenshots !!!

Thanks Hariz - managed to get one in Paint.

What is Fraps? Where do I get it and how does it work?

 

[Hariz]

Mate Fraps is a software used for taking in-game screenshots and small videos !!! Works really nice and you only need to press F10 to take a screen shot and they get saved in your X:/Fraps (where you installed Fraps) !!!
You can download it here !!!

So annoying, although my tails wagged a couple of times as this sheet shows (played on test level):

Your batting seems pretty good now. Any tips?
Century for Harmison!!!

One tip is always try to keep the shots reigned in until 20 overs are gone. The new ball makes a massive difference, and you were all out just as it was getting easier to bat

Hmmm, tips, hope for the best is all I can offer! The batting sometimes is really hard and sometimes really easy. In the 4th match (my innings isn't there as i've just done it!), I was 48-7 then 99-8, but managed to work my way up to 169 all out (Giles 19, Harmison 30, S Jones 64*). The highest score from a 'recognised' batsman was only 15!.

Puddleduck may well have a point actually.
