Dave I have probably just had too many Turkey Screwdrivers but in which vid did you post your settings?

this one.

when I posted this I had actually just changed the settings slightly - upping Spin bounce and pitch bounce. May be a coincidence but I’ve since had a few very nice wickets since, edges to defensive prods and one where you could see the ball “get big”

Cheers mate will give a butchers.

Think I'll change my miss influence up to what you have and see if it makes a difference. I wouldn't actually mind being boweld more, atm it only seems to happen if I premeditate the foot selection and get it wrong.

At least we've found a possible culprit beyond me being terrible...

Going off-topic in my own thread, but as everyone knows before the 90s there was the 80s. In previous BA game forums you may have seen my Rebel Tour stuff.

I just found this documentary on YouTube about the 1983/84 West Indies Rebel Tour. This is absolutely fascinating, and huge amounts of footage plus some interviews I’ve never seen before.

Highly recommend this. Split over 3 parts.

Will See Blocckerdave hopefully my bowlers can get me off to decent start tomorrow . one thing i will say they were 35 extras 20 of them wides so i put my spin drift to 62 bowl quality from 95 down to 70 its contained it a bit.

I dreamed of my Headingley 19... I’d have settled for my Johannesburg 95.

As it was I didn’t even really get close enough to claim my own Edgbaston 05.

Nevertheless it was a heartbreak.

That Bowl who got hick out was a peach of delivery for out side edge . good content blockerdave enjoyed watching the videos mate keep it up .

Just before tea on day 3, after days 1 and 2 were rain affected, and somehow* I’ve bowled Pakistan out for 199 in response to my 314 to give me a 115 run lead on first inns...


*joint top wicket takers were Run outs and Hick with 3 apiece, Munton and Mallender grabbing 2 each as well.

also, I don’t play with any ball or pitch marker? So I don’t know if it’s threatening the stumps as early

90/1 at stumps day 3, a lead of 205. Gooch (50*) reached his first half century of the series in the last over of the day. Smith (10*) the other not out batsman overnight.
