...that midget spinner will haunt my dreams.

As an aside; I have no idea how you bat with the camera set that close... it's crazy distracting with the see-thru keeper dominating the screen, you really should pull the camera back a bit.

I'd rather just make the keeper fully invisible - I know the keeper will catch the ball regardless of position.

Just played two games online (in both of which I sucked) of which one match I completed successfully but while playing the second one DBC unexpected shut down and when I restarted it it started in safe mode. Donno why and I'm sorry to whoever was playing with me in that match. Just beginning to gain some control over the game. The experience was Okay overall.

 

[Acid Burn]

Yeah , I`ve also had the "Ball along the Ground" being recorded as a six . But happens very rarely ,

Played some random putz online today, who bowled the loopy bullshit spin deliveries that were almost bouncing twice... I think those kinda deliveries need to be locked into the "auto-forfeit" function or something. I've blocked him on Steam, if I can dig his username out of my steam chat logs, I'll post it. NO IDEA why you would want to play online and bowl bullshit non-cricket deliveries, it's no fun for anyone and you're not being clever. Hope it's not a member of PC.net...

...as an aside, played another knobhat who when I was kicking his ass, decided he'd bowl short deliveries and wides, thanks auto-forfeit function.

I had this happen to me a few times. For those kinda deliveries the aggressive shot is out of the question as I have never got it right. If you do play ground shot really late you can find gaps and boundaries. Advancing down the wickets sometimes works. Once you start timing it right then they forget how to bowl since they are one trick pony

Its retarded how game allows and consider's this as good deliveries. Even the AI has more brain then the brainless zombies who keep bowling it

Well i cant play online :s
Tried a quick match, custom match etc but the session always keeps getting timed out before the game can start... Also the game will keep searching for quick matches for very long periods... And in custom match, either there is only one person hosting a match, or there's noone at all :s
Granted i dont have a very good internet connection, but i was expecting some lag during gameplay, not the match refusing to start altogether...

One of the best ways to do this is to host a game. The custom match screen is sometimes inaccurate with non existent game sessions populated there.

Tried that, session times out as soon as someone joins... Internet sucks... Ill troubleshoot and be back with an update if the problem is its not my internet

I never played online tonight and I certainly never played @MattW nor if I did (which I didn't) I absolutely didn't lose about four on the bounce. But if I did, I would've made a glorious comeback in the final two matches... There's also no video of anything happening and any video that is uploaded is a forgery and you should demand SteamID's be presented.

That is all.

 

[MattW]

Yes, as Biggs notes above, this video doesn't exist.

You could say Biggs was on the edge tonight...

I remember the first time I watched Yellow Jackets Killer Whales Killer Whales as a young lad

There is no caught and bowled with spinner in online mode. I am not its because of online mode. The bowler reacts very late.The ball hit directly on him and then falls down, then only he picks up the ball. During online you can play cover drives easily, it wont go for catch in silly mid off or anywhere only if edge.

Any idea when is the patch 3 due?

 

[MattW]

There is no caught and bowled with spinner in online mode.

I literally just posted a video which has a spinner getting a caught and bowled dismissal in an online match.

See the thing is i get it when i play with people in my city friends i am getting. But when i play with people in other countries , i dont get it. More latency is causing the problem i think. But i face it only after patch 2.

Thing is I am from India, when i play people in US i face this issue. Bowled being not given out all comes only if i play with these people.

Does latency also play a factor in shots? I get more edges often playing with them.
