Haha your batting lineup must be completely h4x for him to be at #11.

Actually a lot of the teams end up like that by that stage of the game as specialist bowlers seem to go out of fashion.

Maybe it'll be prophetic.

I've got the mobile app to play now and I'm addicted again. Playing with Rajasthan in FC/IPL and with option to take over Ireland eventually.
I know how to get my guys to bat well in FC games, and I've kinda figured out OD games (my team's **** atm so we don't really have any batting talent to begin with). But I don't get T20s. I've got a batting lineup of:
Rahane
Steve Smith
P Chopra (some Indian domestic dude)
AB De Villiers
Jos Butler
David Miller
Ravi Jadeja
And yet every game all they can manage is 120-140. Even got bowled out below 100 once. It's ridiculous. Smith has been scoring tons, but the rest have been borderline useless. One good innings from Butler and Copra each, and ABDV even batted out 30 balls for 5 runs in one game.
What do I do to get them to actually bat well? I've tried different orders and settings but I can't seem to crack it.
Also, is there any merit to using Custom Field sets while bowling? I tired when I just started playing, in a T20 with Rajasthan, but my side still conceded 200 odd, and from what I saw they was no noticeable difference with or without the custom fields. Gave up on it after that because it's too much effort, now wondering if I should bother again. I just end up bowling with the lowest possible aggression for ODs and T20s - maybe go up to 2 bars for a few overs if i'm looking for a wicket or have a high score - while in FC games I use the whole spectrum a lot more.
