Not too bad this. Had a bit of a play on it. Managed to do okay on the easiest difficulty.
The forward defensive shot (down on the joystick) is incredibly useful. Anything towards the stumps is forward defensive and batting seems intuitive – anything offstump (the stump furthest away from the batters leg) is played easily enough, as are sweep shots. Issues I have are the bowling – having no balls is quite a thing to be aware of in a game like this, and running is not intuitive. Also I struggle with the graphics of the ball – having finger position rather than say “off spin/leg spin” is confusing (I’m a seam bowler IRL so I don’t know which is which!), but I’m scoring runs regularly.
Better than I thought it would be.
