[Dabi]

I get most of my Wickets by Clean bowled .
I even hit the wicket by a full toss...but the stumps does not uproot!!!!..Why codies didn't make the wickets uproot!!:doh:doh

Well I always make the ball spin into the wickets.. and sometime they will miss the ball and BAM!! into the wickets......But it doesn't uproot.
I hit the wicket at 94 MPH and still it just moved abit.:doh

You have also got to get the batters confidence down by grinding them down, ball after ball. You can't expect to get a fearless batsmen out every ball. Use tactics and captaincy to push them on to the backfoot and then play a good inswinger into the stumps, or a slower ball often helps as well. Thats what I do like about this game; with cricketing tactics you can get people out....patience is the key!

To choose the end to throw at you have to hold the handle up or down (that is the case on my controller) in the direction you want the fielders to throw at and keep it there. If the yellow marker on the stumps is orange you know you are doing the right thing!!

I've tried that, I once bowled 30 overs (Ashes), I went for 32 runs and even at that time the bloody openers were bold or something. They got hesitant in between but suddenly after a few overs (without any boundary) Hughes decided, right, I've got my confidence back up!

Oh and generally, what's more likely to take a wicket, an inswinger or an offcutter? (bowleds)

I find the inswinger more effective but only once I have set the batsman up in the right way. Yes openers will be bold even if they are batting for a long time. It's their job to do so. With them you have to get them playing shots, entice them, leave a gap, have slips etcetera. Good luck.

Yeah I guess, I'll be getting the openers in the covers then...There was this one occasion though whn I bowled 6.4 overs of straight balls, outswigners and off-cutters to the left-hander and then the 6.5th ball I moved the cursor from outside off to middle and off and got Katich LBW, playing a cover drive or something. That was my best moment in the game!

Have you watched some of the youtube videos? That will give you an idea of where to bowl.
Also did you manage to get joy2key working for you?

 

[Hitterman]

A simple trick I know in PC. Just choose a LH/RH Fast bowler and then place the cursor behind the stumps straight. Use full speed. There is a high change that batsman will be clean bowled or LBW.

This worked for me and helped me to win 6-7 matches online.

Just aim for a yellow spot while bowling.
That might solve your problem to some extent

How is the AI getting 500 plus against some lucky players? Whats your bowling style?

I just want to know how the ai is scoring 500+ against some fortunate player or just good style of bowling?

Please tell us?

 

[MasterBlaster76]

I really don't know!! It's not as if they smack it around constantly - quite often, they're fairly quiet on the boundaries front...

I don't use any exploits, like pack the offside ringfield so that the AI keeps getting caught there, I don't go fully defensive when the AI's in slog mode, otherwise they just get out too quickly and I save/reload for AI suicide-o-runs. I've got no interest in learning about any 'insta-wicket balls', since that just ruins the game. I usually find 'death balls' by now, but so far I haven't found any in AC 09 and I don't want to know about any either.

If we could just get a few more LBWs/bowled wickets, the edges to behave properly and some more steeplers that go miles in the air and get caught in the covers somewhere, this game will be immense, as far as the bowling side goes. Oh and this 'slog trigger' needs to be found and killed as well.

Yeah managed to finally get the gamepad working, could you possibly link me to the youtube tutorial as I'm nearing had enough, played as New Zealand against Zimbabwe had them at 20-4 after 3 innings (pretty good for me) only for the next Zimbabwe bowler to totally own me hitting three 6's and five 4's they ended 67-4 and all I could muster in response was 57-5 I am truly awful at this game :doh:help

 

[barmyarmy]

Well hold tight for the patch as I've found that I have to bowl quite differently using it anyway. The aggression and pacing from the AI is also much improved.
What difficulty are you playing on?
