PC: T20 Blast Tournament - Series 1 - (Round 2)

Maybe Samp would share his bowling scorecard of spinners, that should disappoint you

I am waiting

 

[AngryPixel]

Playing spin is easy if you have patience and dont throw the bat at everything. What people forget is that it is still a 20 over game and going at 12 or 15 run an over wont really do them any good if they keep on losing wickets as they would end up getting bowled out for 140 something in 12 overs. Opponent would get whole 20 overs to chase which he can do easily with patience. That is what i do. I never had to chase more than 150 in a T20 online.

----------

Do you have it on PS3? We can have a game right now? I'm bored of winning easy games against random people. Havent got any decent opponent after Samp's match.

I am waiting

Haha, bowled 2 overs each from Herath and Al Hasan and in total they went for I think about 55 runs.

 

[AngryPixel]

One more match sam?

Hi Rizzy
I hated your bowling but in the end it felt good giving you a taste of your own medicine. It aint fun is it?

lol true, lesson learnt the hard way, you doubled my own medicine on me with medium pacers from both ends.

 

[AngryPixel]

We should unanimously agree not to use this kind of bowling because it takes the fun away from the game.

----------

If anyone is curious, Scorecard was something like :

MM: 48/10
BB: 7/10

Fair enough, so basically we should avoid using the medium pacers? or is it just slowing down the pace of the delivery when bowling with medium pacers?

 

[AngryPixel]

I think problem is with the slow bouncers.

----------

Because those balls were almost reaching on second bounce. Good length should be okay.

 

[RIZZYX]

I think problem is with the slow bouncers.

It's not just the bouncers though, some of those deliveries from ab and trego were unplayable even with simply defending the ball?

 

[AngryPixel]

Hmm. Lets play a few more matches and figure it out.
I was able to hit the good length balls though. It was just the bouncers which were unplkayable.

 

[_Sam_]

I agree with the shorter slower balls from medium pacers personally, didn't quite seem right . Angry seemed to be hitting Luke Wright (my only medium pacer I think) ok from me (except that maiden ) when I played him and pitched it up however.

 

[RIZZYX]

Yeh but we should not ban the slower ball bouncer from the faster bowlers they are fine.

The grey area is the medium pacers.

The run out glitch is a real problem, again in this game I lost 3 wickets because of it, I pressed O to avoid running but still my batsman was for some reason miles out of the crease on the non strikers end.

----------

I guess Luke Wright is not one of the medium bowlers that is a problem.

So bowlers like:

Umar Amin
Bopara
AB Del
Trego

Have posed real problems, only 1 or 2 players I have faced have managed to play the shorter ball bouncers from these type of bowlers.

Meh. That was mostly due to wrong shot selection than the bounce.

 

[_Sam_]

Will check Luke Wright in a bit, have a small feeling he may have been down as medium-fast (or whatever way round it is) instead .
