Highest Ever First Innings Lead

[deadduck]

What is your highest ever first innings lead, regardless of difficulty level?

Mine is 1500 runs on hard. I scored 1507 in the first innings, and bowled Bangladesh out for 7.

Are you using gameplay patches? Mine is probably about 300!

 

[deadduck]

No, no gameplay patches. I run an original version. The tactic I used to bowl the opposition out was to use a leg spinner and a left arm chinamen, it makes it hard for the cpu to score and you can get them out cheaply. It was against Bangladesh which makes it easy, against good batsmen like India or Australia it doesn't work as well. Though, if you get the team 5 or 6 down a leg spinner can come on and take the other 4 wickets in 1-2 overs!

good job, even though you're playing against Bangladesh... :wink

1500 runs? :mellow: What scores did some of the batsmen get?

 

[deadduck]

I actually found out that this was on hard mode!!
I thought I'd done it on medium. Wow.

Here is the scorecard, excuse the batting order it's all jumbled up because I edited the players a bit.

Here's the proof it's on hard

Didnt you get bored playing this match

 

[deadduck]

Yes it got boring at times, but I thought of it more as a challenge, to see how far I could go, the largest total I could get.
But at 1507 I got all out, which sucked as I wanted 2000 runs.

 

[jamesdriscoll]

400 runs? No problem.

Brian who?
