Red area means faster ball, and yellow areas are the slowest ball possible. The side of the pointer will determine in which direction the ball will swing/spin/cut.
From what I have seen ... if it is Red in the center area, it is the fastest. If it is red in the side areas it is a fast spinner/cutter. It seems like you get the most swing/spin when it is in the green areas on the sides (between red and yellow)
bowling can only be rewarding if you have the correct field settings. for example, bowling short in an open field is not a very good idea, as the region behind square on both sides is totally exposed. fuller deliveries on an open field could be useful (do keep an eye out for the odd sweep shot)
short deliveries on an off side field with a spin bowler are also very interesting. but be sure NOT to bowl full in leg side or off side fields. the batsman is going to go downtown each time!
i still have not been able to figure out a good stratt for the leg side field though.
I was bowling with Hayden (Made him a spin bowler - he's the pick of my spinners after Hauritz and he has no points assigned for bowling) to a right hander. Bowled a bouncer outside leg with an extremely slow speed. Troy ended up leaving the delivery and it pegged onto middle-leg. Great stuff. He probably left it because I had tried the same thing with 2 previous deliveries but they were on a good length.
