How to play short balls on ashes cricket

 

[MuchMore]

I would love to hear some inputs. I struggle against the short pitched bowling against pace and spin alike.

Pull or hook it off the back foot. Wait a bit later than you would with good or full deliveries.

To be honest, we have pretty little time to react against short pitched quality pace bowling. It's even more less if you increase pace bowling slider under physics modifiers.
What I do here is, I try to rely heavily on pre-meditation. Also to me, It's easier to change backfoot stance to front foot stance in a jiffy so while pre-meditating, I always take my guard backfoot and deep on crease.

Everyone has unfortunately their own preference so each one will ahve to find that out but genrally you ahve more time than you think......also use the sliders for pace to slow it down a bit and nudge it up in steps.....get on the practice field and have them bowl only short balls and get in the groove.....its all about rhythm, not snapping too early or too late at the shot

much appreciated sir.i think my biggest struggle is trying to get correct footwork but time the shot at the same time.currently using classic batting but may move to standard if i continue to struggle

Absolutely! Footwork and Timing, both have to click together for a perfect shot. But, I'll discourage you to switch to Standard Control. Perhaps, you'd try switching pace bowling min/max to 54/67. Then play with overall pro/veteran with medium batting. Also tinker with the HUD elements (perhaps turn them all on! I personally turn them off because to me, that's a distracting factor).

Try your luck and share your findings!

I always bat with FIXED FAR. That helps me time the ball so well. Alternatively BROADCAST 2 might do well if you want a bit of camera motion. To use both, you must enable invert batting.
If you want the behind the wicket stuff, then either of those camera will do. Some guys just love PRO cam for a more real in the ground match like feelings but I hate it.

not snapping too early or too late at the shot

Best....advice.....ever. I applied this to every shot type in the game and I am unbeatable now

 

[TerryAlderman]

Is this a trick question? Just plant your self on the back foot.....and fill yer boots. If ball is pitching outside off stump.....smack it to the point boundary. If ball pitches on the stumps or down the leg side....smack it to square leg boundary. Simples.

Brother u will never be able to play spin short red ball online with standard control its broken or the shot is missing u have to play with classic control.
Pace short standard working better than classic.
