Takes no skill to bowl wicket to wicket with fast bowlers and close fielders.

I enjoy the matches between teams with 1 fast bowler each the most.

Would like to play with you sometime with 1 or max 2 fast bowlers each in the side. My psn is "cricket_online". Let me know what ur psn is and let's have a game sometime when we are online.

I used to play with CM XI, have now shifted to TG XI.

I know some people here don't like to play with the special elevens but I think if both players pick them, the matches overall are much more fun and 'realistic' since the medium-fasts, medium pacers and spinners all go for over 10 an over with ease. That results in slog fests and that can get really tedious!

Although TG XI has 4 fast bowlers, I go with 3, since some might take that to be unfair!

For me ROW XI and if i have to pick any national side then S.A, Aus or India(if have to keep max 1 fast bowler)..

I disagree a bit, I like having a middle order and a tail to bowl at and not just 7 batsman rated over 80 . But to each their own

You're right! I prefer that as well but generally the thing is that with teams other than SA and AUS, even if there are tailenders; medium fast bowlers and spinners can get whacked all over the place and thus the point of tailenders batting becomes redundant. That's what I feel. I have yet to come across an online player who can get the tail quickly. On the other hand, fast bowlers can deceive even Yudal Khen and Tendi (or whatever he's called in the game) with changes of pace and length. Thus my preference for those teams. I'm all for low scores, whatever achieves that I'm for it! If that was actually possible, I'd be all for national teams!

Well I have very realistiv matches playing Eng vs Nz and similar teams, guess we just have different online experiences. It seems the PC guys score a lot more than on ps3 to begin with.

Yeah maybe it's that! Sure would try out the game on PS3 sometime but none of my PS3 owning friends feel the need to play a cricket game!

I hear that man, none of my friends even know what cricket is. The only people I ever get to talk to about cricket are online That is why when I heard this game was online and on ps3 and region free, I had a mini orgasm

Well atleast I'm not that worse off, one of my friends does play it on PC online and 3-4 of my friends are really into cricket, just not into the video game!

I like orgasms

I used to go for TG XI for the fast bowlers, but it's often ends a one sided affair especially when the opponent picks a national team, so now i tend to go for Pakistan unless opponent picks a custom team.

Makes it a lot more interesting, an good for stats too chasing big scores lol

[boney_g]

1.) Australia
2.) Pakistan
3.) Sri Lanka

[Ripanrocks]

I choose Asia XI as opponent mostly chooses TG XI or Asia XI.
I prefer Asia XI as my first choice.
In national teams... I very much like Australia.
