Tip for bowling in One Dayers

[cricfan1]

A lot of boundaries from the AI batting in OD or T20 games are pretty much straight down the ground. Strangely, default defensive fields don't seem to cover this sufficiently.

In reality We have seen case when early wickets gone batsman play sensibly only taking 1s ,2s and 3s for defensive field exm. Message came "No Boundary from Last 5 Overs"

To be honest, the default fields should just be better... maybe make them format specific? That way, there'll still be an advantage to clever custom fields, but the difference would not be so great.

You read my mind It was going in mind that Lack of default field setting by AI
For Test and one day same
It should be improve in next version

Agreed.

Not the same because the default fields in ICC are pretty garbage. OTOH the computer has to use the same fields, so it does feel like cheating by setting custom fields.

So you utilise the options available and this "does feel like cheating"

What a joke !!

Its not easy to win on custom field too so Its not cheating Its only way to your apply tactics against AI

It's a bit more like saying that you need to use custom formations in Fifa Manager, because 4-4-2 or 4-3-3, etc will not be good enough to bring you some success.

i reached t20 world cup final with a young england squad...... i can restrict teams to under 120 quite a lot and under 140 nearly all the time...... i've used the full outside off tactic with a few custom fields which i have taken from people on the forums

For batting i start with 5 bars and work up.... in my eyes there's no real formula but to play around and be sensible with the aggression...... 115-140 can be a competitive score if you have the right bowling tactics and the odd game batsmen go ballistic and get 160-180

It's odd. Once you start bowling outside off stump to the default defensive field OD and T20 matches all become relatively simple. I don't know about other people but I was definitely over complicating things in my approach in trying to find a winning formula.

i agree totally. I was trying to bowl to their weaknesses and failed but i thought i give the outside off stump tactic a go and i actually won my first ODI series.

[cricfan1]

One more suggestion from my side

If your going to debut to new bowler choose Bowler for Best S/R

Indeed!

Isn't that a bit like saying that a manager of a football team refuses to score goals from set pieces in order to win the game ?
Fielding is an integral part of the game isn't it.
Seems like there is a bit more emphasis on it than in previous versions of the game

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