Nice Work there mate....I dont know how 2 votes fell in for that YUCK....
Playing my 2nd ODI on your new patch on Hard Mode
Knock out...Playing as England...First Match played on your Semi-Pro patch..Normal pitch...SL gave me a target of 258 which I achieved easily in just 36 overs...90% of the shots being Normal shots...
So I decided to play with your Pro patch in the semi-finals..and to my shock I found Australia in the way..but still took the guts & took the Pro patch...
Aus have scored 302/7 on a Normal Pitch at Cape Town(D/N)....I am currently on 160/0 in 22 overs..Oh Boy...Am I that Good
...( But the situation will change when I get Green pitches or Damp )..When I say 160/0 in 22 dont assume I have slogged all the way......
Actually most of them were Normal shots..only used the Power Boost twice...first 15 overs 116/0..the first 10 overs I played mostly the flicks, sweeps, deflect thru mid-wicket..and as the batsman crossed 40's I could pierce the offside..thru point-cover ; stroke to the left of the mid-off fielder...but one thing is I have got a lot of boundaries thru mis-fields ( but who's complaining...lol
)..
The one thing which I liked was Same shot going in different directions...the sweep sometimes went thru fineleg ; sometimes thru sq.leg ; sometimes thru leg-slip ..similarly the cover drive...sometimes thru point..sometimes thru cover..sometimes sneaking to thirdman...
Since both batsman are now past 60's..field has spread out and I can milk the singles..but perhaps if a wicket or two has fallen..the field would have been in and I would have been bogged down...
Right now MJ Clarke is troubling me with Bowling Figs of 3-0-11-0..I tried guiding thru vacant thirdman and missed..got to get that timing right there...so many runs out there in that area....
