1. My apologies, it may have been a day one pitch , but a day 5 pitch would only help the spinners wont it ?
2. Again , I was wrong , just checked the screenshots you did use 4 men outside the circle
3. Well you didn't have 5 spinners now did you ? You bowled spinners after the 6th over as the spinners can be easily tweaked for singles & during the powerplay that could translate into boundaries . This in turn would have cost you runs, which would have decreased bowler confidence , thereby eliminating the doosra altogether.
You chose only 3 spinners to bowl 12 overs & not a 4th one as a spinner who doesn't bowl a doosra ( like KP ) is much less lethal during the last few overs, not to mention he can be put away for big runs ( Ala Mr. Gayle ).
Would you mind clearing my doubts, with the same teams in a 5 over game in S.A ?
I dont mind picking up the Zulus, ill host. In case you have the time
Peace
Hey man thanks for the reply. Yeah, all pretty much as you stated.
As you said, i played Anderson, Freddie, Swann, Rashid and Patel as the 5th bowler. All bowled out their overs.
I just tried to keep it ultra realistic, and i think i did a good job. If you notcied, that field i used for the last two overs with Anderson and Freddie was exactly what you would see. Full bowling with long off and long on out, 3rd man and fine leg in position etc.
As for a 5 over game I'm sorry. I only play 20 over/50 over games, I'm not one for trying to score as many as you can in 5 overs. For me, the real skill comes in at 20 overs game +. A real test is a 50 over game, keeping concentration for that length of time is tough. One of my only defeats was at the hands of the mighty Colin who defeated me in a 50 over game.
. Never the less it was a learning experience.
