there is nothing wrong wid the defensive shots of the standard patch, it is a perfect patch...wen it comes to the defense, as i think boss has made the defense part very cleverly..b'fore we cud even havea front-foot defence for a ball outside off stump or on our legs...now, he has changed it i feel...and made it challenging..and made us go to the line of the ball and play the shot..at teh pic above....wat i can notice is the bowler is bowling a normal off-spin delivery wid full spin, and in the end he reduces it completely...and wen u go for a defensive shot , unaware being a straighter one u wud get out...and dats how it shud be....the defense is also not as b'fore in other patches...here we have to play our shots earlier...to get correct timing...if we play late it goes straight to the slips n gullies...if we play just after the bowler bowls, its super...one more bout the defensive shot is if we play late on a just above gud-length , it goes between bat-pad and we get bowled...its fantastic and cheers to boss...but i feel he can correct the errors in the 'extreme' version as i love that challenge,but, the fwd def , ball goes rite thru bat and we get bowled...so, he can correct on dat, and HEY BOSS...THERE ARE EDGES in the game and there are edges to silly point, short-leg, i've got out like dat...previusly i had enquired bout this....but, the slips don't play role during spinners on...
