When his confidence is low enough, you can pitch the ball a millimeter more in, and graze off stump to get his wicket...

However, the review looked at gameplay in the default Medium mode, and with a person trying to play "cricket" by pitching good length balls... Funny how slip fielders NEVER get catches, or even the wicket keeper for that matter...

Overall, personally, I think it's a bad buy, but i know people in India are too cricket crazy to care
thanx for the nice tip.
slip fielders and wicket keeper not getting any catches is really funny. I try and bowl out swingers round the wicket for right handed batsmen and pitch the ball outside leg stamp. In most cases, they miss the ball and get bowled You can do the same way for left handers. It helps in keeping the runs down too.

I agree with the fact that its a "bad buy" but when it comes to cricket, you don have too many choices.
