Hometownclub Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Signed up this morning, excellent game except for when that Shane Warne's bowling (I just can't pick that Wrong un of his), good fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky_Latic Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Signed up this morning, excellent game except for when that Shane Warne's bowling (I just can't pick that Wrong un of his), good fun though. Thats where I go wrong as well. I get 90 or so off 4 overs, then as soon as the spinners come in my run rate comes to a grinding halt.

davegtt Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Arrgghhh just played 20 overs and scored 173 within 10 overs... Didnt realise the scores are only matched on 10 overs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hometownclub Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Thats where I go wrong as well. I get 90 or so off 4 overs, then as soon as the spinners come in my run rate comes to a grinding halt. I'm exactly the same, I can handle the fast/medium pace bowlers and like you I get to between 80 and 110 for 1 or 2 wickets off 4/5 overs then it all goes pear shaped when Warne and Emburey come on. Not only does the run scoring grind to a halt but the wickets start tumbling as well. Still I shall keep practising, I'm sure its just a question of timing your stroke right to the slower bowlers.

Nervous_Tic Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Not played this in a while. Can handle the spinners without too much bother, it's the swing bowlers that I struggled with. On my first go, after being 41/6, I recovered to 121/9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my first go, after being 41/6, I recovered to 121/9. I'm the other way around! I can knock Hadlee and that all over the common - As soon as Sobers, Warney and Embers get a throw I start losing wickets all over the place! LOL!

Guest sheridans_world Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) Warne is easy! Its the medium pacers that are a pain. Went from 82/4 to 82 all out from 8 balls off the two medium pacers!

Hometownclub Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I'm doing a bit better now although reading through the comments I think me Rummy and Rocky are all in the same boat and are all getting about the same final 10 over score. We all seem able to smash Lillee and Hadlee all over the park but then struggle with both run scoring and wicket loss against Warney and Embers. I know its just timing but the slower bowlers seem to vary their pace regardless of spin and that throws me. I shall keep trying but about 180 runs regardless of wickets seems to be my limit at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackey Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I suck at this game. Second round score of 111for3. Can I play again to try and improve that? Or do you just get one go per round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you just get one go per round? You get as many goes as you want, the best score you post gets recorded. I.e. Leeslover was 14 all out at one point, think he managed to get to about 40 now!
