Tips

The batting techniques I learned in this game are the same as those I picked up in DBC14. You need patience and preparation—especially in One-Day or First-Class/Test matches—and the confidence to let certain deliveries go through to the wicketkeeper.

I just scored my first double century in a First-Class match, taking around 350 balls. I played a lot of defensive shots and left the ball alone during that innings. You have to spot where the scoring opportunities are and wait for the right delivery. Almost every time I got out, it was because I saw a gap, thought "I can get a run or two," and then tried to hit the wrong ball into that space.

It’s actually a lot like real cricket.

In T20 matches, it’s the exact opposite. You want to hit every ball into a gap and focus on areas where there are no fielders. Once you’ve hit a few boundaries, identify the gap you want to target, wait for the right delivery, and play your shot. You’ll often get out for 20, 30, or even less... but that’s just the nature of T20 cricket; it happens all the time.

User comments

Great game! Had a few timing issues at first but great after I got the hang of it. Just a few things I would like to add to the game 1. Green bar for bowling: In RC 20 there was a green bar in the speedometer which would make the AI batter mistime. Here it's removed and no matter how I bowl I'll only take 2 wickets the entire innings. Please consider this. 2. Ground training: Nets isn't that useful as ground training. Ground training is useful because it can also help to become better fielders.

The game is good overall, but the player stats and squads are very outdated. Some retired players are still included, so please update all squads and player statistics with the latest information. The commentary also needs a major improvement as it is repetitive and only one commentator is available for infinite matches. Please add more commentators with different voices and commentary lines. Also, when we leave the game screen for a short time, the game restarts automatically.

Definitely improved, loving it now. You can add damp and dusty pitch in test matches which could be more challenging to bat. You can also make changes in bowlers in opposition like off spinners changing direction to left handers and left are spinners to right handers as it is now frequently used in test matches. It could make batting more challenging and be wonderful to play.
