Touch?... I'm loyal and play to the hand that I was dealt
On another batting matter. I'm practising to play full balls on the off-side and for the life of me I am not able to play a front-foot drive to point or backwards of point. The batsman tries to play this weird front-foot cut which does not work for a full ball on off or wide of off. The only shots I can get right is to play towards mid-off and a late squirt to third man.
Is there a missing shot in the game or am I missing something?
You are right in the sense you can't drive the ball through point or backward point region. In essence square drive is missing as you end up playing a cut shot to an overpitched delivery through point region. Maybe in the next iteration of DBC the animations could be different depending on the length of the deliveries. For a good length or short pitched ball, the shot through point & backward point region could be a cut shot the way it is now but if the ball is fuller in length the game should play a square drive.
