    Australia Tour of New Zealand 2024

    As a Kiwi, I agree wholeheartedly with pretty much everything you just said. I personally think Southee should never have been Test captain, it should've gone to Latham. But there has been talk of Southee pondering retirement alongside Boult, and the Captaincy was a way to make him stay on...

    Australia Tour of New Zealand 2024

    Good to see my NZ boys rolling back the years and being demolished by Aus inside 2 days. Oh the 90's, what a time.

    I have had bouncers being gloved and caught behind, both from getting higher than the batsman expected, and from line (eg. rank ball down leg). However actual edges.... Usually fly for 4. There are the odd few that drag onto the stumps, or catch the arm/shoulder/helmet and get caught anywhere...

    Pakistan tour of Australia and New Zealand 2023/24

    What Pakistan wouldn't give for an opener who didn't feel the need to strike at 70... It's just a pity that there aren't any within 100 metres of the pitch.

    Bollocks. I was just coming to ask if it was worth downloading teams yet, but this entire page is about how shit the Academy still is. At least you guys all saved me some time and frustration. Cheers! :P

    Xbox One here. I do like some things about this latest patch. It seems they've tuned down all fielders being Usain Bolt's cousins, and they no longer all throw like they're X-Men or something. I've also had a couple of bump balls myself whilst batting. (Scared the shit out of me, as I was...

    Have they fixed the weird "spotlight" that seems to follow the ball? The textures of the grass change as the bowler runs up, and as the ball travels through the outfield. Doesn't affect the gameplay at all, but boy is it distracting! I first wondered if it was just my screen, but have tried it...

    I had a patch this morning (NZ time), was a couple of GB. I expect that it was the "interim" patch they mentioned, so have no idea what it actually entails. Likely just the day 1 patch everyone else got.

    I'd like a bit more than 1 random innings before we lose all hope. My career batsman in C22 took 5/9 off 4 overs in a T20I. The other 412 overs I've bowled have garnered a total of 4 wickets at 7.9RPO. And I'm damn fine with that. I'm a WK FFS.

    In C22, I had messed with all sorts of sliders to try and create decent/balanced games for T20, ODI and Test/FC all separate. In the end I found that the best balance was actually by using default (hard/hardest) for all player-controlled stuff, but fiddling with the AI sliders, and physics a...

    There's a great game from some indy developer I'd never heard of. I think it's a sequel to Minecraft. "Minesweeper"

    2023 ICC Cricket World Cup (October/November) - India

    As a Kiwi, I would gladly take 400!! But I'm thinking 280 is a damn good score here. Up until that 465 ball over by Siraj, the Indian bowling has been superb!

    You can only edit it during set-up. Once you actually start the career, they're finalised.

    Nice to see there is some good progress being made. I am on Xbox (bugger..) but I am ok being patient, as long as the payout at the end is worth it. In hindsight, I do wish I hadn't bought the game so early, but hindsight is not a useful tool, so fearsome tweak it. Enjoying seeing some of the...
