Pace Bowling

[Balimaar the Bass Fish]

I am having some difficulty with taking wickets with pace bowling. I'm playing as England in a kind of "Can I do better than England did in the RL Ashes?" series.

I am finding it very hard indeed to break through the top 3. The opening partnership scores 100+ just about every time without fail.

It's not like I am bowling poorly either with the run rate JUST above 3 an over. I can tie the batsmen down but I can never seem to get a timely break through with pace bowling.

How do you guys bowl?

You need to adjust the sliders to make it realistic as per the conditions and pitch. There are lot of YT videos including mine. Just search for best slider settings for Test, odi etc.. im not here promoting my channel just pointing things out. I'm having lot of fun with bowling, taking wickets and having close matches.

I feel you - being a batting all-rounder has done my head in, but after 100+ hours I've found a field that is mostly okay. I've only take 5 wickets once, often averaging around 2-4 wickets (have had four quite a few times, but there is always a run-out), and can get an economy around 2-3 consistently.

Fielder No.1 - Deep Mid Off
Fielder No.2 - Short Mid On
Fielder No.3 - Short Cover
Fielder No.4 - Short Square Fine Leg
Fielder No.5 - Mid-Wicket
Fielder No.6 - Deep Backward Square Leg
Fielder No.7 - Straight On
Fielder No.8 - Square Leg
Fielder No.9 - Third

I always bowl the same side as the batter, swinging the ball towards leg at full-length. Try to add after-touch to make sure it is hitting middle/leg stump. Your main way of getting them out will be bowling them out or they will edge it to the wicket keeper who will always dive to catch it. Sometimes it will result in LBW or a catch if you bowl short (I still swing it, but generally add more aftertouch and only bowl slow short balls). Can be more aggressive in moving the field up for short balls and moving Third to a slips position if you are willing to risk boundaries.

The only ways they can hit boundaries are just your unstoppable 6 that no field will stop, a ridiculous edge that will beat Third or an extremely well placed shot between Short Cover and Deep Mid Off. Otherwise, they shouldn't run or only run singles.

If you want a T20 field as well, I can post my field/strategy up.

well yes after a couple patches in the interim (I put this thread up in March 2022 and your video was at least June 2022) I was bowling well with pace myself.
