Are you the leading of this gang angad.
PS Being serious for a second, it's a strange miss if it's not in the game as everything else is. Just watch M Clarke vs spinners.![]()

Not the only miss. There are other shots missing too. Like guiding the ball down to third man (by opening the face of the bat) or to fine leg. There are work arounds for both - a cut shot for third man and a late step around and flick through leg for fine leg shot. Other "significant" animation shots that seem to be missing are - tapping the ball around for singles and twos. All the shot animations right now seems like fluid aggressive shots rather than "tapping" for singles.

but i was playing some outrageous shots yesterday - once i got the hang of late cuts i was playing them pretty much indiscriminately. i played late cuts to full balls on leg stump and it was flying off the bat (along the ground)...
my main "criticism" would be that it seems to give you a bit too much leeway in terms of what shots you can get away with to a given line and length even on legend. partly this is because of footwork you can move about the crease better, so is kind of a plus, but i was playing some outrageous shots yesterday - once i got the hang of late cuts i was playing them pretty much indiscriminately. i played late cuts to full balls on leg stump and it was flying off the bat (along the ground)...
Would love to see some of those....if ever you get time, post some videos as well dude![]()

But that is a high risk shot. I've been playing around doing the same and as long as I'm concentrating fully then I can generally hit those shots. BUT if the concentration slips for a second then I miss/bottom edge it and get bowled. Whereas if I'd been playing a drive to those balls, a miss would likely have it my pads and been not out (due to pitching outside leg).
That being said, they are fairly easy to hit once you've got the hang of it, so increasing the risk would be good. I've not had a chance to download the update so I don't know if the faster fast bowling makes a difference to a shot like this!
maybe i was just oddly good at it, but i was playing legend and it didn't feel high risk, which was basically my point. i was creaming it 9 times out of 10 at least
Blocker, after playing on the nets and playing as much shots as did,,,are you still gonna be blocking the whole session or has this changed your mind or approach?
I bet its gonna be challenging playing online with some of the guys who are currently doing nets
We don't know which ball is being hit in air for drives, late cut, flick off pads in the nets and are the lofted shots even clearing the 30 yard circle, timing ideal shots in the nets doesn't mean we have mastered batting. Its a totally different ball game being in the middle.
