I Just Want To Play Cricket

i want to play but only have a ps3. problem i have is internet keeps disconnecting me. says connection with host lost. is that because the other guy is quiting or because my internet died out? and also how can u message some1 to say i have to pause as ive got a phone call?
 
If I field first, I can tell after 2 balls whether it's going to be a good game. Most good players play normal shots the first few overs unless you bowl with something other than a fast/fast medium, so if they come out and slog they're usually either really bad (90%), which means they will probably quit when they get out for 30, or really good. And if I bowl somebody the first ball there's probably huge lag which also means they will usually quit (which is no prob) since nobody is that bad really.
If I bat first I will usually play out my innings even if there's lag unless it's just ridiculously awful, since I know they will lag too. If I get out for a low total there's a better chance that they won't quit during the chase which means I at least get a full game in. I just pretend the lag is like "tough batting conditions" which is actually pretty reasonable, given that the in-game conditions have no effect on batting really.
 
This is why gamers set up competitive leagues. In general, nobody enjoys playing against bots and the inconsistency in pub is inevitably frustrating to the most hardcore players.
