131/3 from 6...here come the spinners

 

[Mr. P]

I finished on 171/9 Most of the 40 runs in the last 4 overs came from the medium pacer so this is now becoming a real problem...

 

[Jnr.]

Its got to a point where I start out great scoring 110-120 off the first 5 overs (1 or 2 down), then the spinners come on and I crumble to about 140 all out. *hides*

I need tips for the spinners! Anyone?

That happened to me when I was playing the All-Stars one (Hadlee took a couple of hattricks), and also the first time I played NZ (losing ALL my wickets against Harris and Vettori). Since then, I've beaten NZ but keep getting stuck against Sri Lanka (especially Chandana). I did hit a six over point off him though! Sadly that was the only thing of note!

You Just have to play reeaaaallly late against the spinners

 

[Mr. P]

ok...is it better to use the up or left buttom against the spinners?

 

[Jnr.]

I've never used the up button for the spinners. Maybe I should try it sometime.

 

[superkingdave]

left or right button depending on the direction. only ever get out if i use up

 

[Mr. P]

Thanks mate! Your advice with hitting the ball late helped heaps - I promptly hit my highest score to date of 203, which probably sounds small, but considering the amount of wickets I was losing to spinners...

More importantly I did it with only 5 down...

Ashraful's majestic ton. We won the match.

6 6s from the over off the leg spin of Chandana

 

[Jamee999]

Bloddy hell! A spinner!

ENGLAND WIN ICC CHAMIONS TROPHY

I defeated SA in the final quite comfortably. So I've decided to win with every team.

What a challenge

When playing against the spinners, wait for the ball, it took me about 50 tries to learn this. Let the ball come to you, though it's easier said than done. I went from losin 5/1 in an over to Harbijan to hitting 32 off one of his overs.

 

[age_master]

yeah im getting better at it, still lose a fair few wickets to them though

 

[Dark Hunter]

I'm not sure if people already know about this or not but if you go out for a golden duck, click on the duck that comes walking on the screen in the bottom right hand corner. It takes you to a special version of the game in 1987. All same teams though (Even USA and South Africa, though i'm pretty sure A.Donald wasn't playing in 1987) even the Star Team is updated. B.Willis, M.Holding, J Garner, B.Yardley and Tony Greig are the bowlers. I just hit 3/243 off them, D.Jones 112*
