Tutsi's Patch ROCKS!!
To say that your patch is awesome is an understatement! It really ROCKS!!! Here is my review on NORMAL level!
India vs Australia at Cairns, Australia
Conditions
Wicket: Green
Weather: Warm
Australia put in to bat first by India!
Australia have scored 93/4 in the first session (27 overs!). It has been really challenging to pick wickets and whenever I pick a wicket, it gives immense satisfaction. I was not really excited whenever I take a wicket before with any other patch. Here, its really hard work. My first wicket (Langer) was a bowled when Langer came forward and the ball missed the bat to be bowled by Pathan. Then came in Ponting and both Ponting and Hayden played really sensibly picking the odd boundary and some singles along with leaves to balls outside off stump. Then Ponting was out to a ball from Zaheer Khan when he tried to cover drive a ball on off stump and was bowled. Then came in Martyn and he played the same way Hayden and Ponting were. But Hayden didnt last long. Just when was started to take the attack to tatters, he was brilliantly bowled by Pathan when the ball seamed in to take his off stump. Then Lehmann joined Martyn and surprisingly, Lehmann started off aggressively. Just when Martyn and Lehmann were building a partnership, Pathan bowled a fastish off cutter and Martyn missed it to see his stumps rattled
Positives:
The real test match!!! A great opening session. If this is how the CPU plays on a green wicket, I fear how they would score against me on a normal or hard wicket! The run rate was really realistic and was hovering around 3 an over until Lehmann came and took it to above 3.5 per over. It was really challenging for the bowlers and you can really enjoy when you pick up a wicket (as I said before!). This gives me great enjoyment to play and I am looking forward to play this test match fully! Realistic amount of edges for me here!
Negatives:
WELL, CANT THINK OF ANY (AT LEAST FOR ME!)
Final Statement:
Awesome patch for test matches! If Tutsi can get one in for the Hard Level too which is similar to this, a real treat for the gamers here!!
Well, I was enjoying the first session so much that I got some screenshots of the scorecard and Batting Stats. Here, they are!
