Not sure whether anyone else has noticed but the AI batting is so defensive in every game they play!

I'm playing an ODI currently and was dismissed for 170 in the 46th over and South Africa are currently 32/0 from 20 overs with Gary Kirsten on 4 from 60 balls! Andre Adams has figures of 10 overs for 4 runs!

All seems very strange and it happens every match :huh:

i find they always just get a single, all i have seen is that all the wickets i seem to take are always caught and bowled.

In a test match I just had a partnership where the two batsmen scored 7 off 119, and 4 off 115, which was made by one boundary on about his 90th ball.

I find that I get the batsman out bowled the most. Usually an in-swinger pitching on on off and swinging to leg on a length usually makes them glance the ball onto the stumps. The only time I find they attack is in 10 over matches lol, although after 5 overs they still go at about 0.85 an over.

I hate how when the ball is hit to thirdman or fine leg, the AI batsmen never run.

^ haha yeh.. the batsman hardly take singles etc in tests.. only seem to up the run rate on the odd 6/4 when i pitch the ball to short or wide hoping for a slice catch etc..
