If the timing was a tad more forgiving this would be pure gold. Would love to see left handed batsmen and a test edition.
How do people approach it? I've been grinding to like 10 off 50 balls to get some form and then rage when I get out soon after. I suck.
Tend to go for about three an over trying to push it into space/hit boundaries in the gaps and then rage very hard when I nick four to the keeper in the space over two overs.
Treat it like a real game of cricket. If you've got a new batsman in and it's full on the stumps, block it. If it's not, you nudge it around for 1s and 2s (with the odd boundary). If it's short and wide, you throw the kitchen sink at it (assuming the fielders are inside the ring where you're hitting it).
Just worked fine for me too. 1. Bowled 56 (56) 2. Caught 0 (2) 3. Caught 29 (16) 4. Not Out 30 (17) 5. Not Out 16 (3)
Problem is there the RRR is really high and you can't just sit there waiting for your batsmen to get into form. There are also times where even trying to block it has a very narrow bar for you to hit. It's not so hard to time it relatively well most of the time. It is hard however to do it 120 times without too many mistakes
Here is what I do in 50 over matches: I use 2 among the top 3 batsmen as aggressive strokemakers from the first ball (and the third batsman as a pure defensive bat who only takes singles in very easy deliveries). Scenario 1: If at least one of the 2 aggressive batsmen click for 8-10 overs then that's enough to dent the bowlers' form. Scenario 2: If they both fail and I lose 2 quick wickets then I take the difficult path of rebuilding.
Yeah, top game but very difficult. I keep getting bowled out for 20-odd. Compulsively hooking works well for me though; only way I score runs tbh.
I get caught so much in this game. I really need to be more patient with guys at the crease. It's bs how if you try to cut/slash in the air to a wide ball you either get 6 or get caught by the guy in the ring, it never goes over for 4 or anything, even if you slightly mistime it you're basically gone lol.
