I've discovered a ball that cannot be played by the computer in an ODI. (never tried it Test Matches)I don't know if anyone has already noticed this but i'll still post it.
In the first screenshot you will see that i pitched the ball short with a medium paced bowler (ponting) and i used no speed so the meter was empty, In the second shot you'll see the result of my action, he's plum out. I don't know if this works on hard pitches but what i can tell you is that it should work on any other
type of pitch with a medium pace bowler or a spin bowler i'm not certain if fast med or fast bowler could this.
Maybe a patch maker can fix this but in the meantime its a sure way to win a game.

P.S:- The shorter the better make sure to give the ball room to move in the air so it will land straight on the stumps.

Yeah mate people know about this already, it is considered a bug in the game which is why many people don't use it. But if you wanna have games where you bowl the CPU out for 0-5 every game then by all means do so.
 
lol I just wanted to make people aware of this fault and i usually do it when i really need a wicket.
 
the most reaistic looking technique used by me is the usage of fast/medium bowlers in test matches to get LBW. I position the radar a little closer to the offstump from the default position with a outswinger. then i bowl a normal delivery without any swing to it. most of the time the batsman leaves the ball and gets hit on the pads in front of the stumps.... and there u go with a wicket LBW....
 
I have two balls that are un playable in all competitons!

The first is for anyone who can swing the ball both ways. The trick is to swing the onto the off stump. To do this aim the ball just at the bottom of the off stump but so that half only half of the aiming circle is on the stumps. Bowl with full swing and little pace and the wickets should tumble.

The second is for off-spinners. This works best on a damp or green wicket. Aim the ball just behind the umpires head so only a little of the aiming circle can be seen to the left of it, make sure your bowling around the wicket. Then depending on the size of the turn add the spin so the ball turns towards the stumps. That batsmen should try to play a leg glance but miss and the ball will either hit the batsmens feet and be given lbw or it should bounce in the crease and hit the wicket.

These work against all levels of batsmen on all difficulties!!!

To get tailenders it find if you bowl spinnners in the rough and turn them onto the stimps by having all your fielders around the bat you are likely to catch them out off an edge!

Hope these work for people!!
