Hi
u can use a few tips
# well with time u will learn everything and then even find everything easier..it is just getting used to..but still at this stage
#Play say 20 over match on hard or dusty pitch in india or othersubcontinenet...don't choose green or wet pitches..they make life hard for everybody,,
#initiallly dont use power button at all..
# first move ur batsman with left or right arrow keys to make it close to the pitch of ball
#then try to play on front foot..atleast intially by pressing the direction keys and and S key at same time..dont use power intially as i told
#if u know basic ok cricket then try to play on left or right side accoding to the ball if that is pitced either on left or right side of stamps..if straight ..play straight..
#initally the balls that are coming straight just defend it and the balls that are pitched outside the stamps u can try playing shots to it..still intially without power..though initially u woint be timming good so shots will be fielded and will be slow..but as u get goood timing they will be piricing the field and u will be able to get runs..
# once u get some cionfidence than u can start using power button
# Generally for straight or cut shots ( that use single arrow key) u play them a bit late,,,somehwere when the ball is just about to touch the pitch..
#the shots that use two arrow keys like cover drives u play a bit early,,when the ball is releasaed and just before it touches the pitch..
# still all it depends on how fast the ball is coming ..and u just learn it with time only
#rather one way of learning bowling and bating is watch the cpu..how it balls..i mean where it pitches the ball and what variationof speed it produces along with swing..
# and when cpu is batting watch at what stage the batsman and bat start moving according to ur ball..if u see carefully u can make out at what stage of ball reaching the baatsman it will offer shot to the ball..u can try same,,,
#Rest Madhitter make game easy rather after sometime u will fell it is not fun as it is not the way game should go...and Tutsi AI 2.0 patch is best to enjoy batting...it has everything a bit more reasonable..
Hope it helps
forget to tell..keep the seeting of ur game on EASY....Not Medium as it is becomes quite harderthere even with patches like maddhitter
