Good game this. My first run had a guy who averaged 35 but struck at 350, I assume whenever he holed out to long off he would prompt commentators to say "that's just the way he plays"
Too much real life, I am always imagining the commentators going crazy as my player hits 50 off 15 balls and then being devastated when he gets out.
z-shots no safer than x-shots as far as I can work out. Key to this seems to be to time the shot as late as you possibly can, almost after it reaches you. Sometimes I swear the ball can hit you and you can then hook it for six anyway.
Yeah, the ball can hit you. It's actually a pretty awesome game. Could easily be made better with a couple of improvements.
Find if you let the ball hit you on the leg side, and then play a c-forward shot, it always goes for six.
There's quite a few glitches; I got bowled once but it let me keep batting. Ended up making 300 odd at the end of the innings but it only gave me the score I was on when I got bowled.
This game seems to make it easy for itself, won the world cup by getting Kenya, Ireland, West Indies in the finals and no decent teams.
Also, it appears the game isn't worth playing any more as soon as you win the cup once. Got so boring after that.
It's not too bad if you bat 3-6 'cause most of the time (when playing for Kenya) you have to come out and win the game.
