It feels like Short Leg, where it is currently positioned, is very much a position that performs that function.

I don't even think we need more fixed fielding spots but a bit more control over how close or far they are. Nothing more frustrating than bowling good balls that fall short of your slips even though you've moved them close. In real life they'd obviously just take a step forward so more control there would be nice.
On a different note, I was travelling for 2 weeks and took my Switch that had Cricket 19 and I can confidently say that tests are MUCH better than in 22. I got so many more forms of dismissals, the fielding wasn't infuriating, and the AI actually bowled to their fields.

Hell, just let us place wherever we want to place fielders. Like the good old NES cricket games. Field restrictions would still apply, but otherwise, if I wanted all my fielders huddled at point, let me do it.

It's almost like there aren't posts immediately above explaining why that might well not be practical, from a coding point of view.

Is there any more info on the game? Ashes are done now - would've loved to have had the game at the start. Its basically two months to release, you would've thought they would have released a bit more info now surely.

Not having the AI batsman switch suddenly from fine to edging everything because the algorithm has decided it is time for them to be out would be nice. It's frustrating to bowl an over of excellent deliveries being left superbly or middled and then another over the same being edged all over the shop with no sense or reason why.
Case in point McCollum for Ireland in two of the three test matches I bowled against him batted sensibly for about 30/40 runs and then a switch was flipped where he tried to blast everything no matter what. As such all I have to do is bowl at his legs and he'll lift it, without fail, to the man at fine leg.

This really makes you realise how far we have come and the impact Big Ant has had on cricket gaming.

AFAIK the worst ever vintage cricket game was Robin Smith's International Cricket. Early 90s, ST / Amiga, possibly C64 / Speccy. You could literally have more fun just reading scorecards.
Atari / Amiga Cricket Captain from the early 90s was also pretty awful.
Still comfortably ahead of Ashes Cricket '13 though.

Never a huge Robin Smith fan, until I am saw him getting peppered by Walsh and Bishop whole everyone else got out in the 90 minutes that made up my first day of test cricket. But, how did he get his own game?

Robin Smith was an absolutely top class player of fast bowling. The hardest hitter of square cuts yet known to man.
His stock was pretty high after any WI series and he did knock up a rare 150+ ton against Australia in the one dayers.
Unexpectedly omitted from the WC final and shabbily treated for a guy who averaged nearly 45. Just his luck to accidentally put his name to an absolute craphouse videogame.

Whoa whoa, let's not say anything we can't take back.
