I've just got promoted to county cricket with Hampshire and I noticed something interesting.

When bowling in club cricket I was about to pack it in due to boring wicket types. Every time I played the only dismissal I'd get while bowling fast was caught by the keeper off a drive. I was beginning to get a bit bored of this as I wanted LBWs, Bowled and Caught at slip. I'd also only get 1-2 wickets per innings for not many runs. It was almost as if the game put a cap on my bowling.

I then got promoted and I've played one game (I know it's not much but it was enough) and everything has changed. I took 4 wickets in one innings with the mixture of LBWs and caught at slip. In the second innings I only took 1 but that was strangled down the legside off a short ball, something which I never saw at club level.

I don't know exactly what caused this. The two main differences between the club cricket and county is the quality of the opposition and the pitch type. The pitch types at club cricket were always normal/medium pitches. First match in county was a dusty wicket. I don't know if this made a difference but it was great fun!

I've just been promoted to the England team and apart from Archer all the players are made up? I understand that I'm 6 years into the future but I'd have thought a few might still be around.

I was the odi team captain and when the World Cup came someone else was made the captain and after the World Cup was over again I was made the captain. This is really frustrating as u build your own team and someone else is chosen for the big event. It’s a bug.

Just saying and not moaning as still testing this out , but scored 350 + in my last 2 club 50 over games in career mode , simmed AI and they reached total with couple of overs to spare....
I've noticed this a lot on my games best bet...sim over by over rather then pressing square (ps4) they score more realistic runs I've found

Anybody got any tips on pace bowling? I’m a right arm fast bowler and almost always get my full ten overs in one day matches for Middlesex and I’m finding it hard to get wickets but I’m getting very unrealistic runs scored against me (very low scores). It’s frustrating and quite boring as I just sit there constantly bowling to the batsmen who nearly all of the time will just hit it straight to the fielders or sometimes they might hit a four. Any help would be much appreciated.

Try and switch your lengths midway, like if you originally started the run-up with a short one, change it to a full length. Also, use L1/R1 to further pitch it short or long. Plus, you can also give a try to L2/R2 slower and faster deliveries with various different bowling variations.

Just a basic Q..

Can we adjust length using LB/RB midway during the runup??

Because as per the tutorials LB/RB has to be kept held while choosing out the 4 basic lengths..?

Kindly confirm

I think it used to be possible in Ashes..

If you see the bowling hud, the L1/R1 option is available throughout the run up, jump and release! Yes, the tutorial is a little bit confusing. On the other hand the pace variations through L2/R2, is locked once you go to the release part of the delivery!
