It appears that some people are getting the hang of it...looking at all the 200+ scores being posted recently. Ok...whats the big trick...ive broken 200 once and always lose wickets in the last 2 overs. Is it more benificial to play a National team or your own made up team??? |

I usually play with my own 'made up' team, if that's any help. It won't make any difference, other than the names and which side your batters bat from, but it certainly makes it slightly more amusing to see yourself scoring centuries . . . |

I play with England, and Cook always does well for me I can get over 200 fairly easily and have done it loads, but it's hanging on to the wickets through the spinners thats the problem.If I can get 100 off the first 4 overs without loss, then I know I can get through Sobers for another 20ish without loss, then I try to be carefull with the spinners so that I maybe lose 1 or 2 only and have a slap at Sobers again in the last. Sometimes the LBW decisions are worse than D Harpers :lol: |

Strangely it's the spinners I find easier. I can usually knock Warne and Embury about fairly well. Lillee absolutely kills me though, literally. He usually knocks out my whole upper order. Surely knocking out a batsman is against the rules? |

I made the mistake of making my Nr2 batsman left-handed...and before each match i have to slide him down the order, so that i only get the view for right-handed. I also seem to quite regularly get a wierd glitch whereby the ball comes at you so slow its impossible to judge. The ball flies slowly but the batsman still swings at the same speed...i normally just restart the slog if that happens. |

It's nice tyo have a lefty in with a righthander with the spinners on that way you can get them at the right end and slog with the spin. As for the quicks, I love two leftys in for that, 30 an over easy peasy (but then again, in real cricket I prefer to face the quicks than the spinners) |

I must be missing something, because it's a lot harder for me than it appears to be for some of you guys. On the other hand, it's my own fault usually - If despatch the fast bowlers without losing a wicket, invariably I am to quick on the trigger when facing the slower bowlers. |

I *am* one of the slow boys! Oh, you meant warne and embury? Yes, I know, but when you are sneaking a game in at work it's harder said than done. |

What do you do with the high balls that Lillee bowls? I can't seem to make any runs off them and they keep knocking my batsmen out. |

Hook them, you'll get 6 every time if you are onto them quickly, watch the ball out of his hand. |
