Breaking Big Partnerships ?

Just wondering how people go about breaking big partnerships and finishing off the tail. Ive had teams 5/200 and after a bad session or two they end 7/400 or all out 500. ive tried all lines and lengths , around wicket. Nothing seems to break them its real annoying :@ . Also does Australia tour Bangladesh, iam in the year 2012 and not toured there yet. Thanxs for your help in advance. :cool:

to breaka partnership try bowling with a batsman maybe ponting or clarke somethin like that.

Try and be aggressive after breaks in play (when their concentration goes down), look at their batting preferences and try and manipulate their weaknesses. Also, buying a wicket can help :p

when i get fed up by my bowlers, i usually pick a batsman to bowl,

for pakistan i probs will use hameed or younis khan to bowl some overs ---most time u are lucky

In the international one, i havent acutally cracked tests yet, always seem to either draw or lose, havent won one. Is there any secret to stop, teams from running up 400+ scores?

I think that "normal" mode on ICC2005 is harder than on ICC2002 in this regard.
Opposition sides certainly seem to run up big scores regularly. :unsure:

try switching around which side of the stumps you bowl and where you pitch the ball, also try switching the bowlers everynow and again to vary it up, if all else fails then send on a part timer medium pacer like ganguly, martyn, trescothick etc.... or a part time spinner like sehwag, katich or gayle.

I really hope this is true (just bought the game yesterday). Hopefully the game doesn't become too easy with England/County in later year. I am hoping this version is more difficult than ICC2002 overall.

Thanxs for the suggestions. I bowled pakistan out for 156, i then made 400 and had pakistan 3/67, things were looking good. The next wicket fell at 4/476 :@ They made 600 and bowled me out with an hour to play. I lost from an unlosable position. ICC2005 (normal) is much harder than previous ICC's
