Better commentary with statements after most deliveries and especially those where the ball has beaten the edge and make it more varied A more advanced A.I which should include scoring at a decent rate not 1 per over in test matches, also bowling to a plan more often More fun action with edges and dropped catches Players should be more animated (they should do stretches, mess with their gloves, rub the ball, talk to each other etc) Show the scoreboard and stats with the cricket pitch/ground in the background after each over (much more realistic like watching TV, I hate the boring black colour)

Bring back the sun shadows that change with the time of day, I loved that feeling of batting right at the end of the day More realistic crowds and sound effects (the home crowd should be heard cheering on their team and roaring as the pace men come in to bowl, they should react to whatever is happening on the pitch including ooh's and aah's) I feel it's also far too repetitive in that it shows the same scenes inbetween deliveries and overs. C2007 was a reasonable effort which looks nice enough and makes batting more enjoyable but it still has too many annoying bugs and lacks real atmosphere. I think it's really about time a genuinely addictive game was released. Just lately I've been thinking about cricket games (with the cricket season starting) and how they have changed over time.
