[@SubbuteoFocus]

Thanks for dropping by and looking at the video. This session sees England trying to post a competitive total for India to chase in their second innings. How will it go? And just to say a big thank you for watching and supporting the channel, and feel free to leave any comments that you might have relating to this video or Subbuteo in general. Cheers Dean.

So much better than the Kwikfit Fitter 20-20 stuff!

Brilliant Dean! Really enjoying this Test match. Some decent scores being posted up - 265! When me and my mate used to play I can't recall many scores over 200..... Great range of strokes in the batting and some decent bowling too. I think Subbutteo Cricket was an under-rated game. I think the way the game was created was quite a clever idea. I guess it couldn't really compete with the football because of the range of teams/accessories that Subbuteo created for that - cricket's a bit limited in that respect. Mind you if it was still around today, they could create some different coloured kits to match the modern game, instead of plain white ones....

Thanks Darren, yes that’s my highest ever score. Maybe because I’m not trying to hit every ball for 4 like in the limited over games I’ve played previously. Funny thing is I find the cricket much more playable than the football and more realistic. As much as I enjoy the football I enjoy the cricket more. I get far more satisfaction from a catch or stump being removed than scoring a goal in the football. Quite controversial maybe but that’s just my opinion. And I think you’re right the football definitely had the advantage due to all the teams and add-ons that could be collected. But playability wise it’s definitely under rated. Glad you’re enjoying the test match, it’s quite a challenge but I’m enjoying playing it out. 🏏👍

how did you arrive at the extra layer of wicket ? just wondering .. i’m feeling partly responsible suggesting you bleach it 🙄

[@SubbuteoFocus]

That’s exactly what I did, cut the strip from an old pitch and bleached it. Done a couple of them, one looks like a sun bleached wicket and the one you see with more moisture in it 😊

hard to follow who’s doing what. might be me but the captions come and go before you can compute them.. 👍🥰

[@SubbuteoFocus]

Ah if that’s the automated captions then they’re out of my control. The info snippets I keep short but can be paused on. After recording 10 overs there’s about 50 minutes of action to edit. So I try and keep the highlights short and sharp. And I try my best to keep the videos less than 10 minutes in total. But I’m always looking to find ways to improve the videos so have an idea or two for future videos but maybe to be used after this match. 👍
