Have now got the hang of bowling and it's fantastic.

Just bowled my first two maidens with Freddie and Jimmy. (On hard)

I realised that on my previous games I was choosing a delivery (ie inswing, X button) but not pressing X button again to complete the delivery (instead pressing A.

Now that I am bowling correctly the batsmen are defending and leaving virtually anything on a good line and length. Very satisfying.

Aussies only made 4 off of my 3 overs. Now that is making me very optimistic about batting AI. Really, really enjoying bowling for once!

Oh this was amazing. I bowled a doosra from Swaan Katich went forward missed the ball and was stumped. It was so quick something similar to what happened to Yuvraj in 2009 T-20 World Cup. Stumping was so fast and its not that AI danced down the wicket just pushed at the ball and in turn got his foot off the ground. Was sweet to pull of a dismissal like that since I am a spinner myself.

Mate it didn't turn just went straight and there was zip in the ball as it went past the bat as it was around 95KMPH. Also the best bowl is when u stop it in the yellow zone just before the red. As red is the no-ball zone and yellow is perfect one and its impossible to bowl all six in yellow zone.

YOU CAN PLAY ON! Unbelievable, I know you could in ICC07, but it was so lame. Matt Prior just played on, and it was properly realistic.

Loving this :p

What are you on about?

Sorry, just quite impressed. I'll type something more understandable.

Matt Prior just tried to cut a short-ish ball, bottom edged it and played the ball onto his own stumps. Fantastically realistic the way the ball moved.

Very impressed by this game so far!

Could someone post a video of a catch. None of the videos have features the catching system. I am very interested in the "minigame" style aspect.

Also, are the catches that are skyers pretty easy to take? those shouldnt be dropped as opposed to slips catches.

Agreed. I would love to see a catch be taken from the minigame, cos I dropped both of mine!
