Exciting updates in Leagues, Bowler profiles, Fielding algorithm and more.

Hello players, new update is available with following features.

[h2]Major Features[/h2]

Leagues
  • Create bowling presets within the Leagues, which are to be picked at random & played by users from all across the world. You can create a bowling preset for each of the pitch types - Green, Bouncy and Dry. For green pitch a maximum of 1 spinner is allowed & for dry pitch maximum of 3 spinners are allowed. Also, you can name the bowlers the way you want!
  • Apart from the single 10 over match you get to play in the beginner/expert leagues everyday, now you can play more matches in the bowling presets set by other players, who are picked at random. You will be awarded fanbase and gems.
  • Also, in addition to the everyday 10 over match in the leagues, we’re adding a 50 over match. And for every four days, a new 50 over match will be added. No toss for 50 over in this release.
  • You can opt out of any category (10 over, 50 over, bowling presets) of the league matches individually and also you can switch leagues.


Bowling Profiles
  • 4 Bowling profiles with field changes in unlimited overs. Bowling lines more consistent on or around off stump.
  • Swing bowlers with strong in or out swing with occasional balls going the other way. This profile can be picked when the ball is new and also when the ball gets old 60 to 80.
  • Cutters bowlers with strong off or leg cutter with occasional ball going the other way. This profile can be picked anytime over a period of 80 overs for a given ball. Frequency of cutters change based on the age of the ball.
  • Bouncers and Yorkers. This profile occasionally gets selected when a batsman scores over 40 runs and 16 overs have passed in the innings.
  • Spin bowlers will be selected more often based on pitch and aggressive fieldsets will be placed. Spin bowlers also bowl consistently around good length.
