After giving the last few versions since iccIII a miss i have decided to purchase 2011. I'm not going to go into my thought's about the game apart from saying it will suffice but I do have a few questions regarding gameplay.
First of all why does my slow left armer turn the ball from off to leg,as opposed to leg to off?
Batting FC/Test: how should I have my batsmen set to get them in. No matter what I try the majority get out cheaply. I've tried starting with 1 bar, 2 bars, 3 bars but can't find any consistency. my way of thinking for example is that batting on a good pitch would allow you to start on 3 bars, but this doesnt appear to work, so then I'll start more defensively to see off the new ball but again this doesnt seem to work.
In the 15 or so games I have played my first session batting score is generally around 70 for 3/4 and I bizzarely seem to get better scores when the pitch has deteriorated!!
Bowling: I'm not too bad at bowling, in fact its my favourite part of the game, probably due to my batting frustration's but would like to know a cople of things.
If i Bowl defensively(2 bars) does this mean I will consistently hit the line and length I am bowling and then if aggression is increased does the ball get sprayed around more? Does it depend on the individual? e.g would a Glen McGrath type bowler on 4/5 bars be as accurate as a super Mitch on 2/3 bars??
Do bowlers have hidden attributes e.g: Can only bowl outswing, can reverse the ball and/ or bowl cutters, bowl better at a certain length or are the all the same?
When a batman is set how low do you generally set the bowling aggression? The way I tend to play is to bowl at 2 bars with the odd aggressive over thrown in. Should I bowl even more defensively, i.e 0/1 bar??
If anyone can give me some advice I would appreciate it loads, cheers
