Got out on 84[138] on a very well disguised slower delivery...You can see how early I played the shot...And that pitch had a low bounce as well...

 

[Gamer Pradosh]

Another century , feels great to be in good touch...Got lucky on few occasions where a slip catch was dropped and an edge which the game did not take into account...


Nearing 150, will post the progress later...

So, you did the "Broad" there, edging and not walking, lol

Good luck on your way to 150

No actually that was another issue of graphics vs actual happening which Ross pointed out long back, when you see the replay your graphics touches but no sound, no appeal....

BTW, reached 150 as well....

great , I missed out on 100 got out for 88 of 195 vs NSW
then bowled 20 overs went for 53 and picked up none, i am finding bowling very tough and less rewarding. Now i am thinking i should have started at pro or lower but being to good at batting it would have been boring for me .

Wow another patient innings great...And on that innings was looking in great touch some of the boundaries in that innings was beautiful to watch, watched 2 to 3 times on replay with slow mo....

Got out on 184 off 210 balls missed a chance of double century....Was caught at deep point fielder who wasnt there in the previous ball...

I had a particularly good match today. Started off with frustration with the typical fielders dropping everything, but then being super human on the return throw or when the ball had bounced- but then something suddenly clicked, and I was starting to get wickets.

Lots of them. With good spinning deliveries beating the bat to hit the stumps, and even occasionally having the fielders actually catch the ball! It was amazing.

I ended the first innings with 6-47.

Then I bashed the ball around and actually made a century! Basically every other innings I'd edged the ball to the keeper for 4.

Then I got given the ball back again very early in the innings, and while at times it looked like the game was about to simulate past my chances of success, with 8 wickets down I got the ball back and bowled the guy to get the 10 wickets in the match, and then a caught and bowled to get a 5 for in the innings. Usually I just end the match with 9 wickets in total.

That then meant I got MOTM and just about all the trophies. Plus lots of skill points.

I've now stopped playing, it's downhill from here...

^Is that your first ever century on DBC?

 

[MattW]

First for that career player, but I've had a few in casual matches and while beating Biggs online.

 

[Gamer Pradosh]

Scored a 50 today in career, was not in the mood of playing the patience game so was more of a slog fest innings, which as expected ended at 54...

 

[Gamer Pradosh]

Looking in great touch in career mode now another century and also a fast one with a few slog shots and some sixes off spinners....Loved the innings as I remained there to get the team through to another victory...



Had a partnership of hundred where I scored 87 off them....


Finishing off the match with 7 wickets in hand...


Scorecard shows the scores of 52 and 112 respectively...

So, my old save file got deleted. Don't know how. So I started a new career with Surrey. and before beginning the career I went to the Team Management and replaced the Surrey Opening Batsman with my idol, Adam Gilchrist. I am playing as an Indian Batsman at No. 2 position for Surrey. My first class matches were going good, I had scored 2 fifties in 7 innings, and got out in the 40's twice. In my 8th FC innings, I played the game of my life. Nottinghamshire batted first and posted a mammoth 540 after 138.5 overs. We needed to win this game badly, so Gilly took the initial risk and scored a quick-fire 50.

and the 100 partnership came up in 66 balls. We were cruising but some great bowling from Shahzad and Siddle got us rattled. We didn't lose a wicket though and slowly rotated the strike. And I believe what they say is true, if you keep taking singles the opposition gets frustrated and they make a lot of field placing mistakes and on seeing that we both had the opportunities to up our strike rate. Now it was my time to move on. I stopped defending and started playing shots (grounded) and after a few overs I had completed my 50.


Gilchrist followed with his 100 soon after off 66 Balls. From there we just didn't stop, bringing up our 150 Partnership in just 124 Balls, and still going and going to reach 200 partnership off 158 balls. I rarely gave the strike to Adam, I would play two shots in an over, defend three and take a single off the last ball. In no time I had my FIRST FIRST CLASS hundred up

I celebrated my hundred with two back to back sixes. Now I felt that Adam must be given the strike since he had been on the other side for so long. I gave him the strike and he didn't disappoint, hitting three boundaries off Shahzad on the first three balls he faced. When we were on 272, I decided to go for a big straight slog. But what I didn't realize that the bowler had bowled the ball wide of off stump, and without even checking the direction of the ball, I played the shot and it caught an edge. I was devastated to see the point fielder taking the catch. The partnership had ended at 272 , with me getting my highest FC score.


Nevertheless, Gilly and Graeme smith carried on before Gilly got out on 156 (114). It didn't matter, centuries from Z.De Bruyn and S.Davies helped us post 714/10 in 153.5 overs. And we almost came close to winning the match as Nottinghamshire declared their second innings at 230/4.
And at Day 4 with 4 overs remaining we had to chase 57 to win. Unfortunately I got out for a golden duck playing the same shot which got me out in the first innings and we finished on 21/1. Match was drawn but boy this was a great game.

Finally started my career on pro level, playing in the last 2 online tournaments before switching to offline. Picked Notts and batting position 2 to open with Hales. Just a batsman (LHB) and it wasn’t easy I edged the ball a few times but got lucky. Been playing in stages when I have had the time, the other batsman did play more aggressive but with my skills low I knew I had to be cautious. It was good fun got roughed up I think 4 bouncers at one point. Looking forward to the second innings on dayboo as the commentator says..
