in tests i usually only play 2 maybe 3 days coz i always win in that time. but has anyone ever played til the last day on a dusty track. if anyone has please tel me how much it turns
 
i have played in in the fifth day against West Indies in a test match it was a hard or dusty pitch. But i cant say about spin as no spin was introduced by the CPU but i can say that i could see difference as the day changed. You can see the difference as the pitch detoriates. The batting got much better
 
I bowled India out for 93 on a 5th day dusty track, it was turning square, I just surrounded the bat with fielders.

Quite a lot of those 93 came in byes.
 
The ball seems to spin a lot more on an older pitch in the game. I played into the fourth day once against Zimbabwe, in the second inning Danish Kaneria had the following stats:

7-3-13-2

And in the fourth inning, which was played mostly on the fourth day, here are Kaneria's stats:

11-10-1-8 :eek:
 
batting on a dusty pitch is a nighmare... with the ball turning from edge to edge make us quite difficult to play most shots.... wat can i say, do what you would do in real life, cover your stumps with pad, strench down n play with the turn....... with the ball spinning so much hard to get LBW, altho it does happen
 
trindi is that you in your avatar nice foot movement buddy
 
i like the chanllenge of dusty wickets.

the secret is to defend all ball that are going on to hit the wickets then score off the off target 1s. and all the bad balls that deserve to go for 4 must go

lol that was before our game agianst cayman island ..... the field was soaked n we were waitin fo it to dry up......

we were playin a small game, yu cant see it there buh theres alota ppl close to da bat ... n if it bounces 1 yu can get ct wit 1 hand.(its a soft ball)

it looks like i went fo a drvie buh actually i rolled my rist on it, the balls going to the leg side, sq leg region yu cud say

lol ok updated pic.... critique my technique now

aw ****, im leaning back ( bad shot )
 
yeah, i play in the same div..... i dont play for ramblers tho, but i kno lotta ppl who do

rustam bhatti? 13 year old bat / keeper..... he plays for them and he was also the captian of the canadian u15

how do yu no of ramblers?

do yu play in TnD
 
acutlay that is not a bat shot in your pic trindi.You bend back because you want the power on the shot.Leaning back give's you that free movement's of arm.no worrie's but cant you guys find a better place to practice.
It looks like you guys are practicing in the neighbors back yard.
 
lol we WEREN'T practising we were playin havin fun, at that point the match was called off and we were waiting for our tour bus to come pik us up, leaning bak does giv more power, but also causes ( in the most cases ) to hit the ball in the air, ... yu must lean over and carry yur weight over the ball

tha pik is under the " pavillion" cayman islands are now starting cricket development the feilds are as good as in canada... in the back yu are seeing the road and parking for the volunteers.....
