Bounced out Jonty Rhodes with Phil Tufnell, this might be favourite dismissal ever. Top edged, caught by Alec Stewart behind the wicket leaping like a salmon with a rocket up his Gary…

Spin is fine for the most part.. I just bowled another 35 overs with Lyon for 3 wickets

Blimey might need to shove a few short legs in there just to get a wicket......I don't know what the Indian equivalent of Bazball is but I am being absolutely tonked all over the place. Some pretty average bowling from my part but India has been magnificent. And no shite either, just superb drives and pulls and hooks and not even a wiff of a chance:

Personally think it's in great shape!

So I found again it appeared to be a field position quirk. 2nd slip - there’d be edges going to 4th or 5th slip and he’d superman dive to catch them, when the 3rd happened in no time at all I rage quit that one, moved him to first slip and no problems after

 

[Wealey]

Yes I never have him at second always first. Second looks ugly anyway!

Yeah, I just generally find keeper covers first… but this is how I’ll do it going forward

Playing in ashes and twice I’ve had bairstow flying for a catch and dropping it which I don’t mind as it looks really good and a difficult catch but the next ball both times has resulted in same shot by batter and bairstow taking the catch I’ve also had it once with a fielder dropping a tough catch but that also results in next ball is a wicket not sure if I can avoid this or if there’s a workaround. Apart from that. Excellent

I haven't had that.. I have had the times where you think hang on wicket is coming here. But if you restart it it almost resets and goes back to normal stuff.

Enjoyed some new shots and wickets.

Might have to up that difficulty mate haha!

Lately.. I have had a couple go to first. I think it's mainly with style 6 as the AI always pushes out towards the ball. But it is possible!

Yeah, happened twice in a innings for me. One was five edges in a row (two fell shorts, two no balls) with the fifth finally out.

Yeah this needs a restart reset .. it's weird it's like the coding traps them haha

I ain't resetting after I get a wicket. I assume the AI wanted me to have one, so I'll take it.

Spent half hour going through the uncontracted section of the academy finding all kinds of players. Licensed ones that are hiding, some that seem to be new fake players and a guy with no body.



The duplicates are giving me a headache though.
