What is this game?

 

[monty1104]

Only 4 centuries though?

He's batted at 7 a lot so has a lot of N.O's that have boosted his average. This series he has opened and has something like 600 runs in 3 tests in India.

[Shupe]

Kane Williamson just scored 305* against me I ****ing hate this game.

On another note, I've tossed a baggy green to Chris Lynn. His scores since debut have been - 6, 6*, 91, 67, 111*, 65 for a grand average of 86.5. Michael Clarke has been shit for me only a year into the game. How easily do you guys drop someone like that?

 

[eth-dog]

Yeh, I introduced Lynn into the side in the Bamgladesh tour and haven't dropped him since. Averages 65 in 20 or so tests.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Yeah Clarke normally has 1 or 2 really good years then drops right off I have found. I still can't get Muirhead to get test wickets.. I'm using 4 pace bowlers and Maxwell if
I really need a spinner. Does anyone else use a spinner? Agars my limited overs spinner

 

[Snake Charmer]

I also put Faulkner at 3 in my test squad. He is averaging like 80 in about 5 tests

 

[eth-dog]

I generally use Muirhead, I do a set of defensive bowling then a couple of aggressive so that he can still take wickets.

 

[Shupe]

Muirhead isn't even available in my game . How about wicketkeeper? I'm in 2016 and I can't seem to find one worth persisting with.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Actually haven't played this game in ages. Going to have to start it up again. Up to 2016-17, going to make the hard call and push Shane Watson into retirement and pick Mitch Marsh. Mitch Johnson is also only keeping him place for great batting at number 8. Lyon has been a hack so might be time to blood James Muirhead.

Current XI:

Hughes
Warner
Smith
Burns
Clarke
Watson
Whiteman
Johnson
Pattinson
Lyon
Hazlewood

Hughes, Warner and Smith are a beast of a top 3. Burns, Clarke, Watson and Whiteman rarely have to do anything.

I don't even do much with Muirhead. Just leave him on extended spells and he gets wickets

 

[Ashton Agar]

Just handed Muirhead a baggy green. 5-120 odd in his first innings, SR of 39. Not bad!

Doolen and Haddin early. Then Wade and whiteman

How often has Doolan actually kept wicket in Shield cricket? Have never really "got" why he's labelled as a keeper in the game (in both current and previous editions).

He seems to be a gun in every save (when I'm not playing as Australia). He's scoring well in Shield cricket the last couple of years, but I think they've overrated him a tad in the game, because it's still an unknown whether he'll ever even play Test cricket, let alone do will in that arena.

He was a keeper in his early days. Not sure if he ever kept in shield cricket tho. But is a good batter in the game

 

[Shupe]

Doolan drops catches for me as keeper. Can't have that.

 

[AngryRanga]

Don't know why I've never considered getting this game. Read through a bit of the thread, seems the general consensus is that it's worth the buy.

Can't wait to start my overhaul of Australian cricket by dropping every quick to make way for my leg spin utopia.

Kept a few times IIRC

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Do you have to actually play in this game or is it all management and Sims?

 

[Jak!x]

The game mechanics you control are the fielding positions, bowling and batting orders and their aggression. When it comes to actually bowling the ball, or playing a shot, that's simmed. Its essentially a management game like FM

That seems fun
