Found a bug on this game.

With this bug it is easy to bowl out the competition with just 10 balls.

Here's the bug:

You are bowling.

for starters, select a pace bowler.
choose delivery - select straight (middle)
flick to bowl (here's the bug) - slide your finder on the top screen, below and just left off the upper stumps.

The batter will not hit the ball and it goes straight to the wicket. If it doesn't, keep trying, you will eventually find it. and when you do, you can bowl them out for 0/10.

finding the sweet spot for pace bowler is easiest.

Hope you fix it soon.

Hello everybody, new member on here.
This is about the bowling. I have found out a certain way that can bowl the opposition out cheaply. But i'm not bragging about it, I actually despise having that option, as it is an empty victory. Anyway just to ask if it could be ironed out in the next update? It occurs when you tap the screen, keep your finger on it and then slide really quickly, does the batsmen everytime.

Hi Everyone!

My mate Antigua Joe gave me a bump on Facebook, as I had disappeared - thanks Joe!

I hope everyone had a great break over the holidays. Unfortunately I have been buried with work from my day job, and poor Flick Cricket was sidelined. On top of that with a new baby on the way we needed to turn the room I usually code in into a Nursery!

However daylight is coming for me - I have a very busy couple of weeks, then I will be dusting the code off, firing up the trusty Mac Mini again, and spending a few weekends on updates before our baby number 2 arrives at the end of March.

My Wife and Father (with the help from many other friends and family) used the money we've made from ads and sales, to build a great little air-conditioned (yes!) office in our garden so I have somewhere permanent and comfortable to work on new versions.

Multiplayer code was, quite frankly, giving me the shits, so I will focus on getting the game to start up a lot faster, stats/scoreboard, and the bugs mentioned in the forums first - then I'll focus on the other stuff.....deal??? great!

Over Christmas we passed the 300,000 mark for downloads of the free version...I said to my wife after the first couple of days it was out it would be cool to have a party at our house for everyone who downloaded the game. I think we may be stretching our relationship with the neighbours if we proceed...

Cheers,

Glenn

Happy Christmas everybody who celebrates it, and for those that don't have a good day.

Glenn hopefully we can get some kind of update on whats happening with flick cricket before the year is out, if not have a good xmas and new year.

Have fun all,

I've only fund this game recently and I have to say that it is one awesome game! It seems like you have enough suggestions to work on for the short term, so I hope that goes well because I am really looking forward to seeing this game get better and batter with age!

If you ever need developer help, let me know!

Just a quick note - I am reading many forum posts but not replying daily (as you may have noticed!). As much as I wish it could be, Flick Cricket isn't my day job, and the last month has been quite frantic working on a (non games related) project. Nights currently consist of Flick Cricket bug squashing, and testing of the new release.

It looks like I may have bribed an old friend to help me with opening up Flick Cricket online. This website will be changing over the next couple of months while I work on this online integration. I am really excited about this next chapter!

If you're on Facebook and a fan of the game, don't be shy about sending a friend request. You can find me
@ www.facebook.com/glenn.noy (mention Flick Cricket in the request). I also have finally relented and jumped on the Twitter bandwagon (@GlennNoy). I currently have exactly 0 followers, who have all heard my exactly 1 tweet, but if a few jump onboard I will shoot out more updates as they happen.

Cheers,

Glenn

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for going so quiet last week - I am back on deck and going though all the new posts tonight!

Looks like you have a heap of ideas that I will put up on the poll - you can all vote on what is in next :)

Cheers,

Glenn

just wondering what other peoples favourite bowling type is ?

at first i usually got more wickets with pace though recently im favouring swing bowling for wicket taking and spin for keeping runs down

when batting i love batting against swing and spin, though spin sometimes gets me, but i hate batting against pace
i am getting better with pace and using better tactics to make it easier to score and stay in

what are other peoples thoughts on bowling then ?

ff

hey glenn

i am just wondering how the multiplayer is coming along ?
is there any info you can give us as to what it is like so far and when it might be ready ? i know it might be some time yet

keep up the good work
ff

hey glenn
just wanted to say thanks for a great game
i bought it a couple of weeks ago and am completely addicted
i will add some feedback and feature requests in the other areas but shall leave this for people to post their high scores as i saw some other good scores around the forum

5 overs - 120/0 average around 100ish
10 overs - 221/6
20 overs - 431/7
50 overs - 945 all out, came close to beating it but was bowled for 930 though i usually average about 300-400

EDIT: just thought i'd add in highest indiviual batting score which was Strauss with 299 and best bowling figures (since last update)was ff(swing) with 52 for 6

thanks
