Time to play a 5 day match

[TerryAlderman]

I've played the short form of the game sice I bought it. Preferring 50 over games. I have the house to myself this weekend and I reckon now is the time to try a 5 day game. Anyone got any suggestions or advice so as to ease me into the longer game format?

1. Be patient.

Be patient? First Ashes Test....and Australia are 32 for 6 after 14 overs!

haha i also have the aussies reeling,start of second test they are 56-6 and i won the ist test by 10 wickets on veteran difficulty.patience really is key though although there will be times when poor shot selection from ai helps you out but that just like real cricket isnt it

But the Aussie middle order and tail enders put on a formidable display to end the innings 368 all out. I'm in now (England)....teetering on 188 for 6. I love this game.

Think I've learnt a lesson from that first day when I had Aus at 32 for 6. Maybe I should have brought on a different bowler (or 3) instead of using Anderson and Broad all day. "You live and learn" as my late father used to say to me.

bang on mate,after reducing them to 56-6 i think they went on and made 180 odd due to me sticking to what id done before and failing to freshen up the attack
