Has anyone else been having trouble taking wickets? My medium fast swing bowler is getting smacked around by club cricketers, I'm mainly bowling good or full length aiming for the corridor of uncertainty but all edges are dropping short of keeper and slips even though I have them up

Any tips would be appreciated

See the weaknesses of the batsmen/batswomen by pressing L3. Bowl to his/her weakness.or you can use one thing I use, start up with a different length than change the length before the bowl is delivered!

When I played career all my games were on grassy very slow pitches by default, unless I changed them in the match setup.

If you have the same, then might be why edges are not carrying.

Same here. I have been changing it manually for club cricket though so each team has a different pitch type

From what I have seen streamed everyone's getting 600 xp and 375 bonus performance xp each match. Does this vary at all?

What difficulty? I've had a few wickets off edges to the keeper, a foot/bat wicket surprisingly. A couple inside edges on to the stumps. Just hunting for that first clean bowled though. I'm on Veteran, Hard/Hard

I had the foot bat one. Caught at short leg after playing a forward defensive onto my toe.

Have you seen any wickets caught in the outfield? I've not had any of these.

Does anyone know what SP is used for in this game? As far as I can tell it has no correlation to skill/stat increases. I've got 400-odd thousand of it, with no clue what it's for.

It would be nice if there was a tutorial or guide to what everything is used for , at the moment I'm just winging it an upgrading my player randomly - batting all rounder . I'm changing around the perks as well depending on the game format , 3 day / 50 overs etc but not seeing much difference , but other on the forum have noticed a difference so early days for me on this , big learning curve ....

Yet to have any in the outfield unfortunately. Also found it pretty hard to get one in Ashes Cricket too
