Just got the game this evening and have raced through quite a lot of my first season. My average is pretty bad and I've had 4 king pairs but I hit 77 off 30 deliveries in a four-day county game. The AI kept setting awful fields so I kept hitting round them. I hit 22 off one over at one point, and brought up my maiden 50 with a booming straight six into the sight screen
so nonchalant I didn't even start running...
Every time I get out, I'm annoyed at myself rather than the game because it's almost always my fault for not being patient enough and pre-empting my shots. Sure there's been a couple of annoying buggy ones - I got out to the run-out glitch once or twice and the fielders literally never drop anything - but 90% of the time I get out because I've gone for a shot I shouldn't have.
A couple of times I've been properly worked over by bowlers too. In fact I was coasting along happily on 32n.o. just now off about 35 deliveries, building a decent partnership, and I laced a beautiful 4 through the covers first delivery of an over. Then the bowler decided to rough my up with some short stuff - I'm never very good at picking the short ones - so after I played and missed one then got hit by the next, the bowler decided to keep it short. Then last ball of the over he put a fuller one down just outside off, I drove and nicked through to the keeper!
Argh. So frustrating but so awesome nonetheless.
