This is strange but are you sure about that. For me it has not happened so far.
yeah i hv particularly seen this.

also when a bouncer is bowled and the umpire signals one for the over it has been reported that one run is added but that doesn't happen in my comp???

guess some bugs appear randomly or what???

It depends on the bouncer, if its above shoulder height while the batsman is on his stance then its a no ball.

yeah but if it is above his head umpire will signal no ball not one for the over.
it has been reported that even after signalling one for the over run was provided as if it was a no ball. but this didn't happened with me.

didn't read it properly b4 :
it is a no ball if it is above his head and not above his shoulder.
one ball above his shoulder is allowed.
 
The main bugs i've noticed on first play:

Slow bowling by the opposition: since when does brett lee bowl you a 40mph bouncer? apparently all the time on this demo!
Its too easy to hit sixes, especially fine on the legside.
When you bowl a bouncer over head height the umpire gives you a first warning yet the computer adds a run to the batting score???
Why are no-balls all bowled at 40mph? fair enough they are no balls as you've overstepped but why do they have to be slow as well?
Also there seems to be a fine line between bowling a 95mph delivery and a 50mph delivery if you fail to fill the power bar up to 100%. Surely if you fill the power bar up to 75% the speed should drop about 10mph not 45mph??? I not sure its that realistic bowling a 45mph ball with harmison. not even giles bowls that slow!
The computer AI on run chases seems poor. Why do they block the first two overs when chasing around a 100 in six overs? and if you bowl a tight line with a defensive field then they'll never get over 20. Seems strange.
It also seems difficult to get lbw's or to bowl batsmen unless you use the so called 'special delivery'. Not sure about this.

One minor thing that i wondered if anyone else had noticed is the lack of numbers on any of the players shirts when you are bowling, including the opposition batsmen, however when you bat numbers mysteriously appear?!? strange but true, not sure i'm qualified to investigate this though, a job for mulder and scully i reckon.

However there are a lot of things I like about this game and have it on preorder for xbox, so hope some of the above have been sorted before release.

If it is above the batsman's head,umpire will signal no ball as well as "one for the over"..

Everyone? including the batsmen? all the time?
The animation doesn't show sweaters anyway, just shirts without numbers!
 
Don't know if this has been mentioned before. Has anyone experienced this?

In batting, I took an almighty swing with the power shot button on a no-ball (since you get that red "X" a split-second before the delivery)... the ball took an edge and went to the slips and was caught. Since it was a no-ball, it was not out, but stupidly I pressed the run button and was easily run-out with a direct throw, both batsmen stranded mid-pitch. The fielders appealed, celebrated, and the umpire raised his finger to give me out. However, nothing changed. Next ball I had the same batter, same score, same wickets. It was like that ball never took place. I cant remember whether it even counted that ball or not, I did not notice.

If a catch is taken of a noball it becomes a dead ball...that might be it?

Nope...its sweaters without numbers. Happens quite a few times. Batters are mostly wearing them all the time, and most fielders, but not bowlers I think...
