Not sure if this is worthy of its own thread - happy to move elsewhere if there is a more suitable location.
Experience: I have been experiencing a recurring annoyance in my career mode when bowling. I will regularly start an over in both T20 Club and First Class Domestic with 4 or 5 dot balls. On the last ball of almost every over, the batsman will hit the ball to the boundary or very close to it. It doesn't seem to matter what I bowl, where I bowl or the bowling leading up to the final delivery of the over. It also doesn't seem to matter what the bowling and batting confidence or stamina levels are, nor the quality of the batsman. I estimate that this occurs in roughly 80% of all overs, so not an outlier.

Questions:
- Is anyone else noticing similar behaviour?
- Does anyone else have a strategy for limiting this?
- I bowl as a medium pacer - does this happen to anyone as a fast bowler or spinner?
