Platinum Path/Custom Roadmap title

Without a slight element of cheating, achieving some of this game's trophies would be down to sheer luck. Such as bowling out 4 consecutive batsmen. Luckily, you can save at any point during a match, so, and this is just an example, after you strike out one batsman, you save, and then if you dont get another out, you reload, if you do, you save, until you eventually get 4 and then your trophy. When going for platinum, bear this method in mind.
(From now on, I will be referring to this as SAVE/LOAD).
The structure of acquiring the trophies is this:

You must complete a full version of each tournament, i.e an ODI tournament, a 20-over tournament, and an Ashes Series. (When I say full version, I mean that you can compete a tournament in 3 matches, but play on till 5, you must play to the end!) Each "mode" has some specific trophies. You can get the rest of the trophies in Test matches, which have no overs limit, enabling you to take trophies at your leisure.

Overview:

Trophy Difficulty: 4
Offline Trophies: 25
Online Trophies: 17
Minimum number of play throughs: N/A
Number of miss-able trophies: N/A
Known glitched trophies: N/A

Best of the Best
Earn all of the Trophies in the game.
Getting this trophy requires just a little patience. Is is very easy to pick up the game's bowling/batting controls and timing, and continued use of the (SAVE/LOAD) feature will guarantee you easy trophies. Platinum should take 1-2 days, if not less.


Master of the Blade
Successfully complete all of the batting lessons and challenges
To get this trophy you must complete all batting lessons and challenges in the "legends coaching" section, just off the main menu. The lessons are tutorials, and the challenges are very straightforward, (completing simple objectives), except perhaps the last one, which may require light use of (SAVE/LOAD).


Master with the Ball
Successfully complete all of the bowling lessons and challenges.
Simply complete all of the Bowling lessons (which are just tutorials) and then the bowling challenges. The challenges shouldn't be any real effort, again, use (SAVE/LOAD) should the need arise.


Dynamite in the Field
Succesfully complete all of the fielding lessons.
This is really simple. Just complete the fielding tutorials, follow the on screen instructions.



***INTERLUDE***
The following 4 trophies involve getting a certain number of runs with a single batsman in one innings, 50, 100, 200, and 300 respectively. You might as well aim for the 300 runs, and pickup the other lesser trophies along the way. Makes sense, right?


Raise the Bat
Score 50 runs in an innings with a single batsman in single player or ranked online match.
Hopefully you read the interlude above, here are a few tips. Save the game after every 50 or so runs, if you get bowled out, it saves you starting again. Or you can save after every over if you like. If you are in doubt, play careful shots. Otherwise, try and knock it for 6!


The Big 100
Score 100 runs in an innings with a single batsman in single player or ranked online match.
See "INTERLUDE" or "Raise the Bat"


The Double Ton
Score 200 runs in an innings with a single batsman in single player or ranked online match.
See "INTERLUDE" or "Raise the Bat"


The Triple Ton
Score 300 runs in an innings with a single batsman in single player or ranked online match.
See "INTERLUDE" or "Raise the Bat"


Ashes King with the Bat
Score 500 runs in an Ashes Series with a single batsman in single player.
A full ashes series consists of 5 matches, each with 2 innings as standard, so you have plenty of opportunity to get this over an Ashes Series. Just use the best rated batsman on your team, and remember to use (SAVE/LOAD) You can even do this in the first innings if you like.


Power Hitting
Hit 6 fours in 6 consecutive deliveries in an innings in single player or ranked online match.
Basically you have to hit the boundary 6 times in a row. If you get a six, it will desrupt the chain of fours, so dont slog the ball, just go for attacking shots with , in between the fielders if you can. Save the game after every four, in case something bad happens. If so, reload.


The Blazing Blade
Hit 6 sixes in 6 consecutive deliveries in an innings in single player or ranked online match.
As above, except with sixes. Slog the ball with and save after each one.


The Hat Trick
Take 3 wickets in a row from one bowler in a match in single player or ranked online match.
See "The Top Hat Trick"


The Top Hat Trick
Take 4 wickets in a row from one bowler in a match in single player or ranked online match.
This time you have to knock 4 batsmen out in a row, with one bowler. This can be you either hitting the wickets directly, or forcing the batsman to take a shot that is easily caught. Spin Bowlers are best for this. On easy difficulty, the Australian team are very easily taken out by spinners. Use all of the spin modes to your advantage and catch the batsmen off guard. Save after each successful ball, and reload until you get 4 consecutively.


Raise the Ball
Take 5 wickets in an innings with a single bowler in single player or ranked online match.
Easy peasy. Try spin bowlers against the Aussies, just get 5 bowlers out in an innings, it doesnt have to be consecutive.


If You Want Something Done Right
Take 10 wickets in an innings with a single bowler in single player or ranked online match.
Innings are finished once the batting team has been totally bowled out (except in 20 Overs matches where there is a limit [of 20 overs])So all you have to do is decide which bowler you want to do it with and have a backup bowler. Focus on getting wickets with your main bowler, and bowl rubbish balls avoiding the wickets with your other guy. As long as you bowl the whole team out with one bowler, its all good. Save every time you get somebody out, and save at the start of the backup bowler's over, as if someone gets run out by fluke when this guy is bowling, you'll have to start again. This Trophy is best attempted in a test match.



***INTERLUDE!!***
The next two trophies feature "Ducks" and "Golden Ducks" and the trophy descriptions are ambiguous. A Golden Duck is when you bowl out the batsman WITH THE FIRST BALL, i.e, before he's hit a ball, before he's scored any runs. 1st Ball.
A Duck is when you bowl a batsman out before he scores any runs. Could be the seventh ball, as long as he has no runs. Can't be the first otherwise it would be golden. The reason the trophy description is misleading is when it says twice, it means the same batsman in the same match. So it has to be 1st and 2nd bowling innings. Not two different batsmen.


Nought and Nought
Dismiss a batsman for a duck twice in a Test Match in single player or ranked online match.
See "INTERLUDE" above. Get a few batsmen out for Ducks in the first innings, save often, and then try and get one of them out in the second innings. I said get a few out so you have better chances of hitting one of them in the second innings. If you fail, reload. Otherwise, BAM! you have a trophy.


Name Here
Dismiss a batsman for a golden duck twice in a Test Match in single player or ranked online match.
See "Nought and Nought" The more batsmen you get out for a Golden Duck in the 1st innings, the more chance you will have of hitting one of them in the 2nd.


Ashes Destroyer
Take 40 wickets in an Ashes Series with a single bowler in single player.
For this one, just use the 2 bowler method (one as backup) as explained in "If You Want Something Done Right" you have to get 40 batsmen out over the course of the Ashes (5 matches, 2 innings per match.) So you have plenty of time. Just aim to get them all out with your one guy, and you'll get the trophy well before the end of the tournament. Remember to use the (SAVE/LOAD) method as mentonied above.


Demolition with the Ball
Bowl the opponent out in 10 overs or less in single player or ranked online match.
Another massively easy one. Aim to get 1 guy out per over. Save at the end of each over, and if you dont get anybody out, just reload the over.


ODI Domination
Score 300 runs or more in an innings of an ODI Match in single player or ranked online match.
Just save often, and reoad if you start running out of batsman. Play cautiously if the fielders are good. You can do it with one batsman if you like.


Test Match Domination
Score 600 runs or more in an innings of a Test Match in single player or ranked online match.
You should be getting used to this by now. See "ODI Domination" play carefully and save often. It doesn't really matter if one of your batsmen gets bowled out, it doesnt have to be with the same guy. Just as long as you don't run out of them!


Ten Wicket Defeat
Win a test match by 10 wickets in single player or ranked online match.
Ok. On easy difficulty, win the toss and opt to bowl. Bowl the other team out as quickly as possible. When you bat, overtake their score by about 20-30 runs. (so they can catch up) Then let them bowl you out.

Now they are batting again. DO NOT bowl them out before they overtake your score. Once they have passed your score bowl them out ASAP.

Now when you are batting, beat their score. Simples *squeak!


Innings Defeat
Win a Test Match by an innings or more in single player or ranked online match.
Quite similar to the last one. On easy difficulty, win the toss and opt to bowl. Bowl the other team out as quickly as possible. When you bat, overtake their score by about 200-300 runs. (so they can't catch up) Then let them bowl you out.

Now they are batting again. Bowl them out before they overtake your score.


ODI Champions
Win a full-length ODI Tournament in single player.
Use all the tips from the other trophies & save often!!


20 Over Champions
Win a full-length 20 Over Tournament in single player.
As above


Ashes Champions
Win a full-length Ashes Series in single player.
As above. Remember that you can win the series after 3 matches, but a FULL tournament is 5 matches long.
