2nd test end of day 1: Australia won the toss and chose to bowl.

I decided to bump the difficulty up to medium for both batting and bowling plus the match difficulty up to pro.

2nd test end of day 2: looking like another easy win.

I just hit five sixes in five balls with Jonny Bairstow vs Ashley Nurse. Unfortunately, as I tried to save screenshot, I thought the game would pause, it didn't, so half the screen was covered as the sixth ball was being delivered so I missed out on six sixes in an over with last meaning a century.

Couple of observations.

It was after the power play had ended. Bairstow was already 67 from 40 balls but the over, with a spinner who had already conceded 12 in his first over, started with all the men in the ring. They continued this for four balls before deciding to put three men out. I'm just waiting to see if after bowling 2 overs for 42 Nurse will continue. Sure enough he came back after conceding 30 in the previous over.

What level difficulty?

Bowled well and reduced the Aussies to157-6 unfortunately Cummings and Wade came together and put on 150 taking the game away

In the end managed to bowl them out for 340 odd giving me over 400 to chase in 4 and a bit sessions .

Got to 50 without loss then lost both openers reducing me to 50/2 then Root played an awful sweep shot against Lyon leaving me 53/3 . Thankfully got a partnership going with Vince & Bairstow closing on day 4 135/3

Rained on day 5 so lost about 15 overs so chance of a win looking unlikely but will hopefully get a draw although pitch is starting to turn

Wade is overpowered. He has scored and troubled everyone in Ashes, Aussies were 100/5 and Wade scored a 100 in my game too @blockerdave we have one more

Just played the best game of cricket I've ever played.thought I would try something different, so I bowled with both teams.
It was a rain reduced t20 between aus and england.
The game had everything including stunning innings from roy, and a couple of great catches from wade.
There were 2 bugs though towards the end

What level difficulty?

Medium for both batting and bowling. Match difficulty is on pro.

Wade is overpowered. He has scored and troubled everyone in Ashes, Aussies were 100/5 and Wade scored a 100 in my game too @blockerdave we have one more

His batting weakness is the hook or pull if I remember correctly. Just put a man out on the leg side, perhaps a short leg too and just pepper him with the short suff. You'll soon get him out

AI required 9 off 6 with two wickets in hand. Bit of an anti climax. Ignore the white kits, it's a T20 match.

 

[Deleted member 185125]

My best leg spin delivery.

 

[Deleted member 185125]

Happened during a T20 match. AI fielding. Saved a Six or dropped a catch? Difficult to say.

Looked like a helicopter kind of cut shot but got caught at gully.

Away from The Ashes and while I am waiting for First Class teams to be updated to play Career Mode, I have started a Tour of Australia with Ireland. A real baptism of fire for the new test nation, away at one of the best teams in the world (In my opinion). The first test at The Adelaide Oval started with a brief shower, but once that cleared a shortened morning session began, with only 13 overs possible before lunch, Ireland found it tough (Not surprisingly).

I am Ireland on Medium/Medium and Veteran difficulty

 

[CornishCricketer]

As expected, it's been an almighty struggle. 7 bowlers used with very limited success, early morning wickets will be needed in an attempt to stop Australia getting a huge score around 500.
