This is annoying, no way to add extra swing and seam using my control pad. Only works on the keyboard.

Hey If you are still using the century stick patch I have set the swing modifiers L2 and R2 (upon your request)

 

[MasterBlaster76]

Which system do you have it on?

 

[The_gas]

Right, got the control pads issues fixed with regard to swing and seam. Done all the fielding and bowling drills. Just gonna do a few batting drills to make sure the buttons are correctly mapped then its straight into an Ashes series on hard, followed by a review.

Time to open the 24 pack of wife beater and settle down for a chillaxin afternoon.

Yes I am now Raina is gone too. 8 Down. Apparently India is quite a good team.

And I had a great start but then kept loosing wickets. 3 in every 10 overs span.

Pakistan just has one 90MPH bowler rest are crap!
Also played a lot of sweeps against Afridi and started to take singles and two's I have played any lofted shots its easy to get runs without that and have played the demo more than 150 times.

Also I am playing in Sri Lanka Colombo. day 3 pitch with lot of wind.

Swing appears to be very minimal visually, im playing at headingly, cloudy day etc but nowts happening, how old dya think the ball needs to be before it hoops? or is it wishful thinking???

 

[MasterBlaster76]

Thanks to ChrisW2k5:

Chance of rain 30%? There must be rain in the game somewhere, surely?

Also, it looks as though there are tons of stadiums to unlock!

Change everyone to a fast bowler, that's what I'm going to do (apart from spinners/medium pacers, of course.) Change the medium pacers to fast medium and Bob's your Uncle!

Gas, are you saying that Shopto will do me a next day delivery for free? It sounds too good to be true, and yet, that's what they appear to be saying. I have a very good mind to cancel the play.com order and give these guys a go...

I have to say, I've had a look at their security system and it looks very secure indeed:

ShopTo.Net: Video Games, Consoles Games, Accessories - Free Delivery in Uk - Orders before 5.30pm dispatched Same Day -

It seems literally water-tight to me, why doesn't everyone use that system?

Also, they tell you about the ?1 'test' transaction - no-one I've shopped with before has mentioned it, they just take it off the card and don't refund it for ages. Apparently, theses guys refund immediately. So, has anyone ever had any delivery/security problems with Shopto, or do they know anyone who has?

Hey guys, does anyone have any answers to this? It's sort of standard procedure for me whenever deciding whether to shop with someone new.

Pakistans reply to my 276

Cloudy humid overcast day at cardiff, i win the toss and choose to bat.

Anyhoo, swann is dropped for rashid, and sidebum replaces, crap, i can't remember. Ah monty that was it.

This game is already win for having rashid in the side. :banana2

I Get bowled off my first ball, luckily it was a no ball. I block the next five before crashing the 6th through the covers for four.
