How to unlock the Knockabout achievement in Ashes Cricket - Definitive Guide
If you're grinding for this, you can use 2 controllers.
Grab 2 controllers as per the solution above, then just tap the ball into space so you DONT score a boundary. Then set off running by pressing X. Keep a nice rhythm and keep tapping X at a reasonable interval and you'll just keep running and running. The second player will receive the ball but not stump you if left alone.
Personally I turned the tv over and watched a program. I scored 384 runs on one ball, but I suspect the score per ball is unlimited.
EDIT: Ignore the above comment, the achievement popped after getting 4 more sixes in another match.
POTENTIALLY GLITCHED
2500 runs in any game mode sounds simple and providing you play through the Ashes Mode and T20 World Championship, you won't be far off it. However, the game seems to have a problem with tracking runs scored from matches that were saved half way through. As a result, the counters (which can be found under Options => User Statistics) often reset. A sure fire way of reaching this total is to play T20 matches to completion, getting big scores with the bat and bowling the opposition out. On Rookie Mode, it is quite easy to get 250 runs in a T20 match, meaning that within 10 matches, you will reach this total. Again, make sure you complete the match without exiting mid game to return.
