Cricket 2004 Q&A - the official answers

[duffarama]

Ask Mr.Koala about swinging with face-pacmen. He seems to get it to work.

 

[Mr. koala]

Getting the ball to swing or spin or cut is easy, you just have to know how to bowl using the seam..

 

[duffarama]

There you go everyone. People who know how to use the seam when bowling in real life, use your skills in Cricket 2004.

Hi guys,

have any tried "REVERSE SWING" when the ball is Old...
i tried after 40th over...doesn't seeme to be implemented in Cricket 2004...
anybody able to perform reverse swing..???
please let me know....Game Manual doesn't talk about this...

 

[squiz]

I can't even do conventional swing, so i doubt there will be reverse swing

 

[duffarama]

time on that...

hi duffarama,

in ur bowling tips, u have considered the right hand bowlers....
Will the rule for "Movement Marker" change for left hand bowler or is it the same..?

for eg; say an off-cutter for right hand fast bowler, u place the "Movement Marker"
on the extreme right...so does the same rule apply for left hand fast bowler
also....or is it the opposite (ie; extreme left) ?

 

[duffarama]

Hi iamtheone, how are you mate.
I appreciate your comments.

It is the same for all bowlers, but it is different for the batsmen that you bowl to.
(eg. Any bowler bowling a leg-cutter to a right hand batsman is the same as an off-cutter to a left-hand batsman)

So the movement marker is correct for right hand batsman, opposite to left handers.
Hopes this solves your problem.
