Damn, I thought you were talking about the insect. There's nothing more soothing than the calming chorus of chirps whilst camping in the pitch black forest.

In a practise match against fast bowling I lasted exactly 4 overs with a score of:

9/10

I hit one 6 and one 3.

THey have not missed a rule. My batman Hayden got hit in the head by a bouncer. He collapsed to the ground , hitting the wicket on the way down and was rightly given out. You saw him collapsed on the gournd with the stumps dislodged ๐Ÿ˜€

My batsmen refuse to play a shot as soon as they bring on the spinners :o( Spoils the whole game.

You should stop playing with SA then, other teams aren't frightened of playing spin ๐Ÿ˜‰

I could only manage 158/8
Once the wickets start falling there's no stopping. Friggn Dennis Lillee gets me every time...

First go I came away 59 for 10 ๐Ÿ™. Lehmann got a 32 and I was looking alright, but then my tail collapsed completely.


I'm going to be at this all night now...

Do you mean to say they won't even swing the bat, Johan? Perhaps you're trying to hit the ball too early or late?

Yes the bat doesnt move at all,the batsman is very willing toduck though. I am playing as Zimbabwe now and the problem seems to have disappeared. Very frustrating,I once had 136/2 and winning easily until the spinners started their onslaught. :o(

You have to get the timing pretty exact with the spinners to even have a shot.
I've given up for the night. I'm in a form slump, I can't even break 100 anymore. grrr

Getting it right with the spinners is definitely a hard task. Once you've got the timing right with playing shots, it's very difficult to avoid getting caught...then again, I should probably stop trying to pull and sweep absolutely everything!

Keep plugging away, soon you'll not be giving 5 wickets away to Emburey in his first over!
