I hope they treat the roleplaying aspect like Skyrim, where you become what you do. In previous roleplaying games (Elder Scrolls included) you set at the start what you are going to be and then that's it. Cricketers, like medieval characters, evolve though. A few examples:
Daniel Vettori: #11 batsman to fine all-rounder
Steve Waugh: One day lower all-rounder to superstar batsman
Shane Watson: Handy both ways to an opening batsman, part time bowler
Ashton Agar: Went from 11 to 7 in one innings
Mitchell Johnson: Went from #10 bat to a bowling allrounder, batting as high as #7
Brendan McCullum: Went from wicket keeper and lower-order slogger to test opening batsman with no keeping
And, the changes are even more significant if you go back to schoolboy cricket, like we have in Ashes cricket. If anything, most first class bowlers still had lots of batting talent as a schoolboy. Nathan Lyon was an opening batsman. Ashton Agar batted at 3.

In previous games there was a place you could bowl and the batsmen would get bowled, does that happen here.
No. In this game you do not place where you bowl with a marker, you have to time flicks/rotations of the analogue sticks to get it where you want. The bowling method is completely different.
