What this guide is (and isn’t)
This is an entertainment-only practice guide. It is not advice for real-money play or wagering.
Three pitch signals you can spot early
Notice grass cover, dryness/cracks, and initial seam movement. Translate these into pace, bounce, and turn ratings inside your practice module.
Practical drill
Run 10 mock overs: 5 conservative, 5 aggressive. Compare dismissals and dot-ball pressure. Save your XI and repeat with one bowler swapped.
