Match orders

How often do you guys set your batters to bat aggressively? And how often does that end up working for you? I've been setting one of my openers to bat aggressively every game but the other opener always end up performing at a better strike rate than him while batting neutrally. Why is that? Their stats are similar too, so it can't be that.

I don't mind some tips on bowling either. I'm still very new to the game. My bowlers still leak runs at death even if I set them up to bowl defensively whole they end up taking wickets if I set them up to bowl a couple of attacking overs at death.

Generally I have 3 bats on A. It works out sometimes but not regularly. I set up the tactics for how I would ideally want the match to go. Nothing much ever goes perfectly to plan and tactics work the same. I think they are there more to make you feel good when things go right. power can assist with a batsmans strike rate in a small way.
