Batting: I spent the first 20 mins in the game with bowling machine and I could not hit it, not even once! Couldn't lay bat on a basketball! The only shot I've played so far in 3 games of Sheffield shield and a 1 day game, was a square cut and I fucking murdered it to the fence. But that's it. I am going to smash a record for the most ducks ever as I've had 3 ready. Victoria declares before I bat at 11
Bowling: Much better for me. Made myself a 195cm 16 yo in the game and I my stock seamer is about 146 kph. My first game v's Queensland I took 6 for in the game with a 5 for 37 in the second innings. I got the hang of yorkers fast and don't give many runs. I've badged a few batsman already, one by the name of Hughes
So far I am enjoying it a lot but batting is frustrating and will take a lot of time to get right. Think I should have called myself Rubbish Binni. As a bowler you get two meters, one for the jump and one for release, release dictates the line you are bowling. But as a batsman, you get nothing. You have to judge it and it's hard. You field too but I tend to skip that so I can bowl.
It's a fun game but frustrating. I don't know of any cricket games out there but this will keep me going to a long time, especially when you can save at any time and it only needs a controller. I use an xbox controller.
