Turning Chances into Wickets in 2005

Yeah.

RMF = Right Arm Medium Fast, suggesting he bowls fast, but medium-ly.

RFM = Right Arm Fast medium, suggesting they bowl medium, but a tad faster.

Umm if I would have to give examples...

RF= Lee, Akhtar, Bond (140's+)
RMF= Flintoff (130's-140's+)
RFM= Martin, Franklin (120's-130's)

That help?

Surely it would follow the international designations?

ie

RF/LF = Fast...duh (145k+?)
RFM/LFM = Fast to Medium (140k+)
RMF/LMF = Medium to Fast (130k+)
RM/LM = Medium (120k+)
RMS/LMS = Medium Slow (110k+)
RSM/LSM = Slow Medium (100k+)
RS/LS = Boonie
LS/LLS = Leg Spinner
OS/LOS = Orthodox

CHeers. Did not know that. I thought RMF was faster then RFM.

For some reason in the game RMF is faster than RFM. Wasnt in 2002, so it did raise a few eyebrows when 2005 was released. The game goes something like

RF/LF - Fast Eg Harmison
RMF/LMF - Almost fast eg Flintoff, S Jones
RFM/LFM - Bit slower eg Anderson, Hoggard
RM/LM - Medium eg Trescothick, Collingwood
OS/SLA/LS - Offspin/Slow Left Arm/Leg Spin eg Swann/Giles/Warne

No classification for Slow-Medium etc, or even Left arm Chinaman.

or even Left arm Chinaman.

I've noticed that...was suprised when i found out this LS designated player actually bowled with his left arm...

 

[33/3from3.3]

in 2005 it just says
LHB, LS and he bowls left hand leggies (aka Chinaman)
