playing according to field is a must as of of now at-least in higher difficulties, as i know for sure if there is a short cover, cover drive is out of question for me however well the ball may be pitched up in the slot cause sooner or later ones is going straight to them, non grounded shots coupled with super fielders just wont let you play freely.You have to cut down shots according to field at least the non trigger ones as of now if you want to survive long in higher difficulties.
