A few HUD/Menu suggestions

[Biggs]

Another HUD option I wouldn't mind seeing implemented would be either the ability to see the face of the player I'm selecting in the pop-up menu screens (for both batsman/bowler) ...either that or some kind of "next player in" graphic or text like you see in most ODI/T20 games. Lets the bowling side know who's coming and makes the ability to shuffle players around the order a little more tactical if there's a particular "impact" player you want to push up the order. Would also be insanely handy if you have a team full of 'similar named' players... ahem...

Would be a nice way to use the player cards feature we have in academy.Surely not the most important thing of now but would be a nice to have one down the list and that extra touch to presentation.

I like this, the NFL games have little cards that slide-up from the HUD showing the players - could do the same with the bowlers in their respective "card pose" for bowling, batters and so on... Even as a static image it would add a ton to presentation. Alternatively, they've already got the "mini runners" in place superimposed for running between wickets, could simply be a similar-sized 2 or 3 players that pop up along the HUD at the bottom with "next in" and/or pops up when you're scrolling through which bowler to select?

ya that would look cool too.

Apply to both batsmen is self explanatory - it's select but for both batsmen, so you're not making major changes twice an over

This would be an improvement, but I would prefer to see it as 'apply to this bowler' with the effect that the same field would be used for all batters, current and future, in the current innings. This is the way that I set fields as a captain, default positions for all batsmen facing a bowler until such time as a particular batter shows a predilection for a certain shot or approach at which point I may juggle things around for that one player. The default would be as now, just apply the field change to the current batsman, which would enable that approach.
