Just had a mess of a batting innings in a test as Sri Lanka vs India (i'm trying no length colours)
When the scripted moments don't kick in there's a semblance of fun in batting, AI stick to good lines/lengths (most of my scoring was in the "V"), AI diving is a nice addition even if the animations trigger at wrong moments.
Annoyingly things like the dreaded C19 auto shuffling as a batsman still exist and the jerky broadcast camera at times is a jarring experience (not to mention staying on the batting camera for wides/byes over the keeper) but I feel like if I put the patience into the game and accept the bullshit that might come instead of save scumming I could have a great time playing long form cricket. The community work makes the game worth coming back to itself
