Well not till we continue to play for another week or so. Once found all right and also probably try to fix the Run outs during this week. I would be keen to know what you guys think, I am not assured the patch might not go well with all other gamers. We might just send it those who wants it for now as a beta release and after having a bit more feedback we can try and fix those if possible. We can probably release it officialy mid of next month. What do you guys suggest?

Mike,
out of the 6 bowlds, 2 were to yorkers, 2 from pollock were as a result of angle/seam movement/change of pace when batsman attempted straight drive and 2 from Adams were to sharp turn, again straight drive. Although I don't see any other stroke (other than backfoot defense) that was suitable for line & length of those deliveries.

How did CPUs run chase go? I would be interested to know when you are finished with the game. Without couple of runouts, it would have ben much better wasnt it? I will see if I can get that one sorted shortly.
The Test match bowling one is shaping up very well. The CPU is looking to score at any balls bowled full or on leg, digging out all the yorkers (99%, lets keep the other 1 percent in doubt as I am not finished playing the entire test), looking to leave once pitch on off and good length. I was trying out a test match playing for Srilanka against the West Indies, it is looking good so far. If we are to test the Test Match patch, it will be one heck of an effort.

Guys, have you ever noticed this...
I installed Ravi's latest files (the very latest batting ones with reduced edges) and started another game..Eng v SA, (normal pitch). After 8 overs I was 40/5, ( 4 edges), and other edges had fallen short etc. So I quit the game, reinstalled the files, and started again. So far I'm 87/1 (20 overs), and the edges have been much better (2 fallen short, 1 to slip). I wonder if some of the cfg values are stored in memory somehow? Just seemed odd :huh: . It may just have been that the SA bowlers were on a hot streak in the first game
!
Anyway, re the Test cfg's Ravi. I know there's a bug in the game which riles a certain moderator :zimrahil: of these forums so much that he doesn't play Tests. If you bowl, right hand seamer, over the wicket, to a left hander, and pitch the ball on a good length in line with the stumps, the cpu will often leave the ball, so getting struck on the pads and getting out lbw. It's an easy way to get wickets. Is there any way you know that can fix this bug? If so, it will make :zimrahil: a very happy bunny, I'm sure

I dont really think the values are stored in the memory or anything, its just the value we have chosen. I reckon the value might be a bit too high differentiating the batting ability(edging ability) of Human against different opponents. For instance, with the same file if you play Scotland I assure you will end up losing a wicket or at the most two to edges. With the same file if you play the Australia or South Africa, you will see that the edges will be huge. We can fix this if you reckon this is making batting a bit too tough. Also there will always be a player or two in the top order for each game with purple patch in their timing. You will certainly ceratinly feel it when you play a shot or two, you will need to recognize them and use them very well. You have to play ground shots using such batsman and only in the death should try and hit over the top. This will always come off well. As regards to the edges for other batsman, it is designed to produce edges. You have to play such guys in, leave as many as possible and look for gaps, get the one in the form to strike. Jonah, really try as mentioned above and am sure you will find batting a lot easier. What pitch are you playing on.Originally posted by jonah@Jun 26 2003, 11:29 AM

The number of edges will not be the same every game, it is more or less random for each game although you will see it more when you play against the top teams and the pitch type.
Not sure about the Test match thingy, are you refering to the patch released by me before? If it is then I am not sure, I will need to test that in my current patch and see if it still remains. It doesnt sound like a big issue, we can sort that out.
Sure Shailesh, take your own time mate theres no hurry at all.
Jonah, I just tried to emulate the left hander/seamer with the patch I got right now it doesnt seem to happen, not sure why. Is it on a particular pitch or irrespective of the pitch type? I tried that on a dusty one and I couldnt reproduce that bug.

Thanks for the info on the edges Ravi. I think they're fine as they are if, as you say, they vary from game to game and depending on the opponents. The first game I played was probably one of those games where the edges were prevalent. Keeping them variable will result in higher and lower scoring matches too .
The Test match bug has been in the game from the release, not from your patch Ravi. It's another EA bug. I'm surprised that you've never come across it...I'm sure Zimrahil will back me up . Maybe it's just on certain surfaces, although I don't see why. Keep bowling a good line and length to the left handers...I'm sure it will happen, unless you've inadvertantly rectified it already, if so

I played against England on a green wicket(only 15 ovrs till now) and the results are a bit odd.Check the screenshot.I scored 84/0 in 15 ovrs on a GREEN wicket in OVERCAST CONDITIONS.And to my surprise there were 3 sixes and many fours.

Lol amber...good tactic
.Btw about your game...that's pretty realistic the way those two openers play! Make the most of it, as a collapse could be just around the corner :o ...
