The ball is rolling around on the ground at the time.

Edges look like they're going to the boundary but suddenly change direction (almost at a right angle!) to end up at a fielder's feet.

Big edges have sometimes had the appearance of doing that for me, but I think you'll find (as I have) that it is because the shadow is misleading you. If the sun is right behind the ball as it descends, then obviously the shadow will seem to stop. If it is in a similar plane to the descent (making the estimation that the descent is straight rather than a straightish bit of a parrabola) but to one side the shadow will move towards the boundary on the ascent, and then turn sharply in descent. That is probably what you are seeing.

RFM should be faster than RMF as it is in real life.

RMF has been faster than RFM throughout the ICC series.

It seems to tell you about a rain interuption that will happen in the next session. For example you can get to the end of the morning session, it will then tell you that 1hr 50m have been lost. Then it will show you the scorecard to indicate lunch. Then when you start the afternoon session you realise this is where the time is lost.

But when you start the afternoon session, what is the time? Is it 3:00PM? (the break for lunch at 1:10PM iirc)

I agree with the rain. If a break happens in the middle of the interruption, shouldn't the time of the interval factor into things too?

Use an example of a Test match.

If a rain delay happens say at 1:15, it lasts for 2 hrs. You get back on at 3:15. You've only last 1hr 35 minutes. Because it's playing time lost, not overall length of time which can include tea or lunch intervals.

field settings

every time i try to save a custom field setting it crashes the game. Is this a known problem?

boundary behind the stumps

If the ball goes toward third man or fine leg boundaries the ball appears to be heading for 4 then will change direction & the batsmen will run 1 or 2... any ideas?

Edges look like they're going to the boundary but suddenly change direction (almost at a right angle!) to end up at a fielder's feet.

A ball was once picked up what looked like at least a yard over the boundary but the game interpreted it as only the two the batsmen ran.

But I'm not really in this game for the graphics so those are minor issues for me. I do love the diving animations, though. Had a catch taken at leg slip that looked absolutely amazing!

He was the only centurion. I don't know how the MOTM system works, I presume it would work on some kind of hidden points system. Centuries would be more weighted than 50s.


Opposition batsman skied the ball. He was caught, but over the boundary, umpire signalled six, but he was given out.

[qpeedore]

I rarely see bowlers or even all rounders taking the man of the match award. It seems as if the game doesn't really care about which team the man of the match belongs to, as long as he has had the highest amount of runs in the game. I know it's just a minor annoyance, but it bothers me big time.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about:



How does Hamish Marshall get the man of the match when:
1. He's on the losing team (I know it happens in real life sometimes that the losing team has the man of the match, but this is ridiculous...)
2. He made 19 in the second innings
3. Tim Murtaugh top scored in the second innings AND took 6/45 to restrict them to 168 all out

I'd have even understood if Chris Peploe or even Anthony Ireland got the award, as they bowled well in both innings. But having Marshall get it just seems so random to me.

[jcosgrove]

I still find it hard to believe some of the fields the other team set. I was in a one day game and 250/4 with 5 overs left and they still had 2 slips.

Surely the fields they set should be defensive?

Tactis saving

II've tried to save a custom tactic but I get a runtime error message and then the game ends

I was just playing a match when suddenly my players appeared on the ball tracker. Theyre just stood there.




Strangley enough when I took the screenshot there was only bits and pieces of the player visible.

looks like the West Indian 'Scream'! Voodoo!!!

Be scared. Be very scared.

Very odd ball tracker?
