How are you doing in your career?

[barmyarmy]

I find spinners much easier now. I tend to get out on length rather than line as I'm usually premeditating front foot against the seamers.
I seem to edge to the keeper more than I should.

Lol I get out driving short balls

@madman981 - any reason for only 2 List A games in 2nd season? Injury?

I'd say he's only a couple games into the season, considering he's only played 3 FC games and no BBL games

my stupidity... i saw the 3rd line and assumed it was season 3, rather than overall career... doh!

Sometimes I cry myself to sleep because I have a low average

I do the same. Wait, we're talking about bowling average, right?

Ok I know it's cheating the system, but I started a new career as batting allrounder offspinner and hit my first 50 in test level by saving after every over and going xbox home if I get out to continue from last save. Only way I can get past 30. Time consuming but effective. Currently 75 not out in a one dayer... Tbh I think that's how everyone gets their tons.

Seriously I get that people will do that, but why would you tell a bunch of strangers online that you cheat knowing that it will tarnish your reputation on that site for your entire tenure? I really don't see the point

The more tired I get the smaller my scores get and the more I cry

Also I'm refusing to share my stats after my first season

I'm trying to psych myself up for another session tonight but getting out constantly for scores under 10 is quite depressing. Anyway if I want that prized baggy green I better get going.

My point was in the last sentence if you read my whole post. How have I tarnished my reputation or tenure? People post on this website saying batting in career is easy and how many tons they score etc. I'm just shedding light on the probability that these people do the same thing. Plus, I've already posted in many threads about the frustration of averaging 20ish and not earning 2 stat increases, then bowling for 16 overs and getting 25ish stat increases.
This way I bulk up my bat skills and have equal time batting and bowling in career and I'm actually getting the hang of timing and shot selection.
I'm not ashamed of it at all.

Lol....I am in the same boat. As soon as I reach the 40s I always always ALWAYS make a stupid mistake and get out.

Yesterday I was playing on 46 and thought Il defend a few deliveries. Played a front foot defensive shot to a fullish delivery, it hit the 'toe' of the bat and crashed onto offstump !! Its looked cool though how the ball might have stayed low to take the toe end of the bat on a front foot defensive shot....Its a dismissal thats never seen (or even imagined) in any cricket game before.
