I can't get wickets with them could you guys help me
I don't know what to say, really. It's like real cricket. Pitch the ball in the right areas and wickets will come. I am consistently getting wickets with spinners.

With tailenders just pitch it just outside the stumps, spin it back in and 9 times out of 10 you'll get a wicket, but tailenders are unusually bad in this game.

For normal batsman, Codies have actually made it so you can pitch the ball in bowlers footholes, so try get in it there, and you'll get some turn.

With tailenders you just bowl a straight one at the stumps on their toes. I find the straight ball gets me a lot of wickets, especially caught and bowled

I find it easier to get wickets with spinners than seamers. That said, leggies are definitely the best. I had a left arm orthodox bowler - it was just bizarre.

yeah with spinners persistency is everythin.. try different lines and couple of lengths but not too short.. and vary it a lot to get the batsmans confidence down.. more likely to strike when that happens :)
