Tip for bowling in One Dayers

[Auric Goldfinger]

As I've stated elsewhere, one shouldn't have to resort to using custom fields in order to have some success.

I sort of agree. Personally, I think there should be two types of field setting for each type of bowler. The current default ones are reasonable enough for the first class games/tests but not for the one dayers and T20s. For the next ICC game (or a patch for this one if possible), I think new default settings need to be created with one day game in mind for each type of bowler.

In one dayers and T20, I think its important to set your own fields once the fielding restrictions are done with (especially the first powerplay) as the default field settings are pretty crap. Bowling outside off stump is a good tip I think, I like to bowl at the batsman's weakness but this has cost me a load of runs against off side preference batsman. I will be giving this a go in combination with my custom field settings.

These tactics seem to have improved my performances with Kent bowling attack. I just change to full length for last 3-5 overs. Batting doing quite well too, have plenty of wickets to go full aggression in final 10 overs.

Seems to work in T20 as well, qualified for the IPL semis with Rajasthan.

Very good.

Not sure about 20/20, but will probably work there too.

@GrahamB

here is the latest match which i played today against NZ with India...

[GrahamB]

while batting i start with 5 aggression and as they gets settle i change to 6 agression...i do this till 42 overs and after tht i change till agression 7 to all batsmen...on an average i score easily around 275-290...but if i loose too many wickets early then keep batting on aggression 4 till 42nd over...

With NZ, I lose wickets very quickly if I start batting on aggression 5.

[dhruv_tandel]

well even i use the same tactic...i play with Indian team and have defeted Sri Lanka 5-0 in one dayers and won all matches convincingly...

for bowling start with 3 aggression and if the batsmen gets settle or score more then 15 runs i change my aggression to 1 but keep bowling outside off stump with defensive field...on an average they landup scoring around 225 or sometimes below 200...

Graham what team were you playing as when you bowled England out for 126? Also have you continued to have success with your bowling method even with poor bowlers?

I've only played as NZ in International mode at this stage. Seems to be the best line for all bowlers I've used. How are you finding it?

Seems to be a good tactic in T20 as well, now if I can only convince my batsmen to score at more than a run a ball I might have a chance.

Yep - tougher to crack that one!

Think you might be onto something !, Won 2 OD games, lost 1.. Both times held teams under 200.. First game i scored 178 and they got 167, second game they scored 179 and i chased it down to win

Seems to be working for me. Still struggling with the batting though.
