Dear BigAnt you have ruined online play…
If you host a match on hardest (only difficulty tested so far) and bat first, the pitch length indicator and the pitch marker only appear when the ball if half way down the pitch, the batter has ZERO time to play a shot. The team batting second does not have this problem, the markers appear as they always have as the bowler is bowling the ball. Granted this has only been tested in 2 games so far, but we changed hosts to test and the same happened to both hosts… We have not tested yet what happens if the host chooses to bowl first.
