Excuse me for going slightly preacher mode but some people seem to complain about games not panning out how they want. If you want to ‘fix’ the match then they’ve created scenario mode for you!
In real cricket we’ve had everything from 0 all out to 1000 plus, from 30 wickets in a day to none in three days, we’ve had batsman score singles off the first few balls when chasing 12 an over and others go all guns blazing when trying to draw a Test match. We’ve had Adam Lyth... Adam Lyth score the fastest T20 hundred!
If everything was so formulaic and predictable what would be the point? I loved that I played a Test match on Ashes and the opposition got run out off the last ball of the day. Call it unrealistic, call it crap AI but for me that’s the beauty of the game.
Just because a team doesn’t try to hit the first ball of an ODI to the boundary doesn’t mean that they’re not trying to chase 330.
Enjoy the unexpected, enjoy the mystery, enjoy each player’s decisions, contributions and mistakes. Enjoy the game!
