You are quite right... why does Valentines day fall on a Friday? Shouldn't be allowed, and then there's the cricket I wont be allowed to watch....

My joystick works for all the games but not Cricket Academy. Any help here Ross?

 

[Gentoras]

Oh yes! We had to get this early so that Ross can knock off early and spend time with the Madam,,,we get our fare share though!!!

+ you won't get a chance to see the Proteas bounce back, tough on you!

*Happy Valentine's to those who celebrate it,,,as for me, its BIG Friday*

Can now successfully charge the quicker bowling, and the addition of the advance and block will make a lot of people happy. Have to scoot off to work now so didn't get a chance to face some spin bowling where it will be bettter applied.

Love the appealing! edged one that bounced back off the net and ended up bouncing off my feet a few times, HAWZAAAAAHHH X 10 was quite funny, took me back to the SNES cricket days :P.

Like the new Scoring system Ross gives much more confidence than streaks when playing well.Nice to see LBW also added and block being no run.
The Advance down the pitch block is also working well against spin.also Legend spin random works well fixed from prev version, Great job with the update.
Happy valentine ross

hitting the ball will gain a point,

It seems like when you hit the ball with an aggressive ground shot/defensive shot, the score doesn't increment. An attacking shot gets 2 points and a non-trigger shot gets 1.

Otherwise, I like the new scoring system - makes it so you aren't trying to hit everything in sight to keep a streak going.

The advance shots seem a little bit too easy now.

Not sure this is a bug or not but I creamed a cover drive off the front foot against fast bowling. The ball hit the net (whitish part) on the full and I was given out! Wasn't able to replicate it but looks like some well executed cover drives may be considered an edge.

* Score system changes, hitting the ball will gain a point, lbw, bowled or edges will cause an "out" and will reset your score

Finally! I used to hate the previous scoring system which only rewarded you for hitting the ball. I played (and intend to play) most of my time as an opener where actually LEAVING a good ball was the best shot.

Thank you BA.

Wow....awesome stuff...really love all 5 points above

I see what you did with the third point there.....that will ensure almost none of the created players are ever taken off without a legal battle

Haven't had a success in advance and block,,,somthing I'm not doing?

Edit: I got it, I was not pulling back on the RAS
