Actually I'm quite a good cricketer both in real life and in the video games.
I should've been more clearer in my earlier post.
What I meant was -- hitting shots is more tougher now. It takes proper timing and co-ordination. Unlike C2K4 where a tap would mean the ball could go far, here, the ball doesn't go as far unless you time it just like in real life.
I executed the same cover drive pretty much the same way and in one shot the ball travelled quite a bit further. This is pretty close to realistic cricket.
