Also, are you able to play aggressively using 'Pro' cam? In my earlier innings, I have relied on placement alone (no power shots).

Am now able to grasp the importance of the sightscreen for the real life batsmen.
@Ross - would be great if you could include slightly larger sightscreens (/ option to select the size of the sightscreen prior to the match) as sighting the ball off the spinner's hand gets quite difficult sometimes in 4 day matches (when using "Pro" cam) particularly with the well flighted deliveries.

What about this?

Won't make it for this patch but we will look at it for the next.

If possible, why not allow the player to choose any camera he wishes to when not on strike in career mode ! Just like there is a separate camera setting for batting, bowling and fielding.....why not have one for the non-striker as well!

Yup, we should be able to select camera angles when we (batsman) are on strike, when we take a run or immediately after playing a shot, and when we are at non-striker's end.

Then we can have say 'Pro Cam' as the camera angle while batting, 'Fielder 1' for running and 'Broadcast' when we are at non-striker's end.

Just finished my 5th year of career mode - having to play an entire county FC season on top of the already long Australian domestic is just brutal. Am I right in assuming that you still play all of the domestic fixtures even after you get national selection - in which case I wonder how I'll ever finish this career.

I topped the table with Surrey, but unlike the Australian domestic, no final and no acknowledgement of that. Considering how much effort it is, it's a bit disappointing and anti-climactic. I assume I was already in division one?

Summary image:

Being Very Close for test selection is the biggest achievement since making it to the county competition, was able to perform quite well if you ignore my batting.

No that isn't correct. Now that I am playing internationals I am not involved in all domestic games. I play for Western Australia originally and surrey in England. For surrey I only played 2 games and I have only played 5 games for WA whereas others have played 7. I am still waiting to play tests but I am sure as I make that side it will become even less

My first season is a lot of 4 day with the Aussie season coming after the English one. Feel like I'll never turn 17!
4 day games take a long time as a bowler.

Yeah I found that disappointing. I topped the table with Somerset twice in a row but nothing of note happened.

Getting attention for BD in T20I. Regular member of English t20. Expecting IPL selection. I want to be a limited overs specialist

 

[jovey]

I've gotten a total of 9 scores in the 80s over the past season. This is ridiculous, I always do something stupid in the 80s, not even the 90s. I just want that 100 so bad!

@joveyYou are lucky you're not like me, who got out on 99 that too run out

Man, I feel ya.

I got to 84 of 40-something in an ODI and it was still the 13th over. (mostly off of 4s and finding gaps, which is quite easy in the powerplay overs), then I decided to try a lofted shot over mid on. Turns out if you hit it slow enough the mid on can run close to an empty long on position and take a diving catch.

I swear Jhonty Rhodes is coaching them when it comes to fielding.

On the positive side, I was given the last over to bowl with 15 to win (t20) and I only gave 12 and a wicket

 

[Markkkkk]

Anyway just managed to score my first hundred! Tough being stuck on 99 for an over but after getting dropped I managed a single! As you can see I got the 2nd highest score beating Carberry by 1!

 

[nightprowler10]

Is the score meant to be on the side of the ball?

----------

Just played my first match in a long time where I got tonked around. 2/92 for the match and both wickets were tailenders. Sussex sitting pretty at the top of the table though.
