3 years too much. It is without the addition of in-game live captaincy. Are you one of the ****wits that think you need to play the game at a high level to know something about it? Do I need to be an A grade or state player to have a good knowledge of cricket? People like you are the ones who play the game well, but have no idea about it. I did.
Not really, penalties are something players/teams can control... if anything I'd liken them to wides and no-balls. I can't really argue against that but I don't necessarily agree... each to their own. Do they actually swing it though? I don't know much about the sim but I reckon it'd be pretty hard to incorporate all this... I know they've already got the medium assistance on pitches but not sure if that's to help the ball swing?
Not at all, set your first innings declaration target of 600. Don't declare in the second innings until the required run rate is >4.6 and the lead is at least 200. For example.
Do as I say, not as I do. I am the best batsman(average can confirm) and ability doesn't translate to knowledge, but me actually paying attention to the sim does. Of course I know a lot less about the sim then some people. Never said I knew the most.
Well, the weather would serve as a second pitch variable. So overcast conditions would be like high medium assistance. Agreed.
Your fault for scoring too slowly. You're not going to declare with 400 are you? Obviously the tactics would be more detailed than that but you get the gist.
Also, live captaincy would be a bigger issue in weather affected games. What happens if two and a half days are rained out? Or do you just leave Cribb make the decisions?
Lol. You would declare with 400 on certain pitches and if you needed a result. You can't captain a cricket sides first innings all before it's played.
Cribb would have to make the decision if the teams captain isn't online. If two and a half days are rained out, it all depends on the situation.
You'd still need more than 400 tbh. You're not going to bowl your opposition out twice for less than that total. Well if you're going to trust him in games where you can lose 8 sessions, why not trust him in those where you've effectively lost 3?
Do you think that declaring in the first innings means you will bowl them out twice for that amount? Are you serious? Do you actually mean some of the shit you're coming out with in here or are you just trying to argue?
No, what I'm saying is what is the advantage of declaring with 400? All it means is you're going to have to make runs in your second innings that you could make in the first with batsmen who are already set. Come up with an example where it's a benefit to score 400/5 and then 200 in the fourth innings than scoring 600 in the first?
Do you seriously think completely changing the game is a good idea? There is no way the games should be brought back to 4 days. And don't even try comparing losing a day to the possibility of losing a day to rain.
I'd be looking to declare when I hit 400 tbh. I'd be looking at the time/overs and then declaring or smashing runs at 6 an over. But yeah, that's off topic.
No, not really. I'm not exactly for the idea of 4 day games. I just think it's a much better idea than rain.
