i already have a hatrik and ive only have it an hour!

i bowl about mid length on the offside , then press l1 to spin the bal away from him , very good chance of an edge

try it

I tried that against England in a Test match, only managed to take 1 wicket from 92 overs....its really frustrating. Taking wickets is really hard.

I need more advice on bowling....c'mon someone?

Ive already posted this on the 'My Review' Thread

With Bowling you have to bowl intelligantly. Get on top of the batsman and lower their confidence. There isnt a 'wicket line and length' youve got to bowl to a field and give the batsman as little as you can. The wicket helps aswell. (You can Use a artificial wicket). Bowl good lengths and throw in the yorkers and bouncers on the odd occasion. If you mix up the speed you will certainly trouble the batsmen.

With spinners its just keeping the batsman on his toes. Frustrate him and he will eventually play rash shots.

well i just vary my pace and line and length and also try and not give the batsman easy runs, once the batsman finds it hard to score they will play a rash shot

also add late swing to the ball

i got new zealand all out for 337 after 90 overs in hard mode

i jus put in 4 slips n every fielder on the off side n bowl a foot outide off stump with late outswing n that works pretty well, u go for lots of runs over third man but wickets fall quite regularly. australia tend to take a while to skittle though

now on test im struggling, made 301 in first innings then bowled them out for 78 then made 409 and they are 88-1 after 60 overs. iv still got 566 runs to play with but bowling wide of off stump with slips and gullies isnt working, please any ideas welcome.

Langer has faced 194 balls for 21 runs!! AAAAHHHHH!!! he must have played and missed 100 times

damien martyn faced 79 balls until he got a run and then he was finnally out for i off 124 balls. my patients is brilliant.

It takes a while but u can generally get them out for under 200 in bout 100-150 overs. bit frustrating at times though

my patience isnt too bad either, try wicket keeping for 108 overs in a day with only 1 wicket falling, and having to do feild placings and encourage the whole time, that takes patience
