Hi guys,
v2.11 is now available to download. Please check out the ingame help for the new combinations as I still need to update the guide on the website.
Changelog:
- can pull out of a shot by pressing S
- AI pulls out of dodgy shots
- fixed many fielding bugs
- tweaked batting
- tweaked AI
- tweaked difficulty
- improved speed (marginal)
- new NZ and RSA rosters
- fixed pitch deterioration in tests
- fixed puff of dust for rough
- added Umpires Call to LBW referrals
- added dab shots (B5/6)
- added scoop shot
- new animations
- fielders now throw with dominant hand
- reworked how settledness is calculated
- speed optimizations
- fixed umpire stats
- fixed body/pad collisions
- updated ingame help with extra batting info
- fielders diving can now hold on to ball
- removed frame skip (normal speed now = fast speed in previous versions)
- fixed keeper dives
- added challenge matches
- AI now sets silly point/short leg for spinners
Please keep in mind that this is a fairly substantial update and in all likelihood I might've broken something (or multiple things). That being said, I'd love your feedback on the new features.
Cheers

Seems like a solid release so far. Few issues encountered:
1. Crash once when playing a game (no major event had occurred when it crashed).
2. Game speed: Speed fluctuates a lot, not sure why. When you start a game, sometimes the speed is very fast (enjoyable: it's a great challenge playing against quicks) while on other occasions game runs pretty slow. In either case, the speed remains consistent just like it was when the game started. Sometimes quitting the game and restarting helps improve speeds, sometimes it worsens it. Also, Speed in net practice is insanely fast. Had to change speed in settings to Very Slow, but it was still quite fast
3. Ball Bounce: Ball bounce off the wicket seems to be fine but the wicket-keeper has to jump in the air to collect every single ball. Might need to tweak the bounce after the ball crosses the wickets.
4. Test matches: Free hits awarded after a no-ball in test-matches.
5. Shots: Not played extensively, but it feels like leg-side shots have become very difficult to play. Most of the shots attempted to be played on the leg-side end up going to the off-side (not sure if they were edged). Leg-side aerial flick results in sixes over the third-man region. Can't connect any dab-shot played square or behind the wickets. Only straight and off-drive dab shots work.
6. Big one: Game refuses to start after playing and quitting 5-6 times. Error:

I am sure a reboot will fix this but I suspect resource de-allocation might not be happening correctly which is resulting in slower performance at times as well along with this issue.

Uh, the ball just hit the stumps and then rolled to the boundary, through the boundary and then under the stands... So I got to see the inside of the stands xD
Is that supposed to happen? Might be a little hard to find the ball after that :P
----------
Yeah, slow down the vertical acceleration so that the ball drops a little quicker if that's the case, haven't really noticed it since I've only played one over and wasn't paying much attention

@Pat: Thanks for the bug reports, I'll fix them ASAP 
@hedger: Haha, no, that's definitely not supposed to happen. I'll fix that too.
@rahul: Try downloading patch 2.10 (http://cricketheroes.co.za/Data/Patch-2.10.zip) first and then install patch 2.11 over that.

Hi guys,
I've just uploaded a new build that should address some of the issues raised here - unfortunately I'm not at home so I can't actually test it properly (don't worry the previous patch is still online).
v2.12 is available here.
Cheers!

MOTM: Adam Voges (100 off 162, 100* off 221, 1/27 off 11 and 4/27 off 20)
Second Test coverage coming soon
----------
South Africa made 3 changes to the side that lost to Australia, with Faf du Plessis coming in for JP Duminy, Dean Elgar in for Jacques Rudolph and Robin Peterson in for Imran Tahir. Australia also made two changes, with Rob Quiney and James Pattinson being dropped for Phil Hughes and Jackson Bird.
Australia:
1. Ed Cowan
2. Phil Hughes
3. Shane Watson
4. Michael Clarke*
5. Adam Voges
6. Michael Hussey
7. Matthew Wade+
8. Mitchell Starc
9. Ben Hilfenhaus
10. Jackson Bird
11. Nathan Lyon
South Africa:
1. Graeme Smith*
2. Alviro Petersen
3. Hashim Amla
4. Jacques Kallis
5. AB de Villiers+
6. Faf du Plessis
7. Dean Elgar
8. Robin Peterson
9. Vernon Philander
10. Dale Steyn
11. Morne Morkel
Watch Out For:
Adam Voges - He was the legend on debut, scoring a pair of centuries, along with 5 wickets. He'll be key for Australia in this test.
Jackson Bird - The Tasmanian quick will debut for Australia and is a very handy bowler. With good line and length, the Saffers batsmen will do well to play him off
Faf du Plessis - He's ready for the step up to International level and with the dropping of JP Duminy, he will have his chance to shine. While he has proved himself in the ODI format, he will need to show his worth in the test arena.
AB de Villiers - The keeper batsman struggled in the first game, scoring 50 and 48, but he didn't look comfortable and came unnaturally slow. The time at the crease could prove vital though and he could be in for a big score.
Toss: Australia (Elected to Bat)

I think the game's just taken a step backwards. I swear every shot goes to the same place now. Perfect timed leg glance, goes to mid-off... Late leg glance gets a top edge which flies towards mid off. Pretty much, if you want to hit it through mid off, hit a leg glance. I think every pull shot I've played has gone behind point or just in front... And right handed cover drives seem exactly the same for some reason no matter how they're played.

Hmm, that's mighty odd - let me take a look again quickly.

And Michael Clarke plays a lofted on drive and it goes over long off for six...
----------
Most of the shots I played were leg-side shots. The one behind point was a pull shot. The singles through cover were cover drives and the four there was also a cover drive. The ones through mid off were a variety of cover drives, straight drives, on drives and leg glances.

Bugger. It's a change I made late last night. Fixing it now.

I had the same issue even on 2.11 where every leg side shot I played ended up going to the off-side. I hit 4 consecutive sixes over third-man with four aerial flick shots. Also, pull shots go towards mid-off.

Hi guys,
sorry about that - yeah, the bug was present in 2.11 as well. Please grab the update here and let me know if that resolves the issue for you.

Yeah, for left handers, they normally go behind point though.
And idk why but there was an appeal for a LBW which was plumb, so I appealed and it was given not out so I reviewed it. The ball pitched on middle but then the course of the ball just randomly moved 45 degrees so it missed the leg stump by about 2 sets of stumps (even though it was a yorker on middle stump). Does that mean it was an inside edge or something or is that a bug?
