Your best or most stupid dismissals?

[ellgieff]

Just had an absolute howler by the umpire (wasn't recording unfortunately ) and once again it's Mr. Billy Bowden!

Bowler bowls it down the leg side and I go to pull it away but miss by an absolute mile...Bowden gives it out!

^This image doesn't really do it any justice but believe me when I say that I missed the ball by an absolute mile! I'd say that there was clear daylight between bat and ball but actually it's the wicketkeeper! bad joke.

This is an acknowledged bug - I'm not certain if it's fixed in patch 2 or not, though.

Yeah I have also faced the same issue but that's not an issue as its some matter releated to physics which Ross explained when I asked him about this....He said that what the graphics shows is actually not what it seems but the result is correct...I will find the post if I can...

P.S: Did you hear a sound of the edge??

 

[SpitfiresKent]

Nope, there was no sound of an edge at all. Oh right so it's a bug and not an actual error by the umpire, Sorry Billy...

No its not a bug as that's the way the game works...If given out then its umpire's fault not the game...Did you review it??

Yeah, nah, there's a couple of different things that can happen.

One is a bug, where there's no sound and you're miles away from the ball (I've got video of this kind of thing in the bug-report thread) but an edge gets registered.

The other is a graphics glitch, where the ball is clearly hit (I've had full blooded strokes like this) but the ball doesn't seem to touch the bat before it changes direction.

I have run myself out twice by getting so excited I actually hit the ball I just had to get a run. Other than that, I usually miss time and loop it up in the air or just get myself bowled out.

 

[T.J.Hooker]

I regularly run myself/partner out in career mode trying to steal the strike.

Did you review it??

No reviews in Zimbabwe domestic cricket

Oh ok....

Doesn't help, anyway. The bug means the game registers an edge, so the review goes "yeah, there was an edge"

The video below is of the interactive replay, after I reviewed the decision - and was astonished to be given out even after review.

I keep forgetting that I don't need to move the RAS down to defend a shot - keep playing the ball onto the stumps

In pro or legendary modes, it's pretty difficult to choose the footwork as well as shot within a split of a second.. there should be an option to slow down the gameplay in the future patches...

Today i tried to cut a ball, got the line wrong, should have been hooking. Ball hit the batsman's chest, on to this arm, on to his wicket. On 81 at the time... Nightmare

Playing a custom match, facing down Mitch Johnson (I genuinely fear facing Him and oddly Sharma), Defend the first 5 out swinging balls, before trying to sweep down leg, completely misreading the line of the ball as it curves inwards, loops off the middle of the bat into middle stump.

It is difficult. That's what makes it great, IMO.
