This aside the gameplay I’m having is excellent. (A slight error in my point above, the players were 1 conservative and 1 precise).
I’m playing the 99/2000 England tour of South Africa, Kirsten (conservative) goes aerial twice in first over and holes out. No aerial from Gibbs (aggressive), Kallis (balanced) or Cullinan (aggressive). When Kallis is out, Cronje (precise) goes aerial first ball.
Overall, Gibbs played more aggressively and scored faster than Cronje or the others. But until Rhodes (aggressive) came in, nobody aside from the conservative and precise players went aerial, and both went aerial in their first over. Kirsten was out 4th ball his 2nd and 4th both being aggressive aerial shots, Cronje is 77* from 146 and not gone aerial since, whereas Gibbs got 95 from 152 not once going aerial.
It’s a minor niggle, but especially with 2 in first over just really stood out.
Overall - I took new ball wickets on a spicy pitch, they had a mini recovery when my change bowlers came on, then a better one when the kookaburra ball got older… 219/4 approaching tea on day 1. They bat deep so this will be tough.
