Hi Ross and any other people from Big Ant listening!
First of all, thank you for such an amazing game, I've waited years and years for a good cricket game. So far this has delivered, yes there are plenty of bugs which have already been mentioned but to be honest i was expecting a bug free game on first turn.
However, there are a few things that need urgent attention at least in my view, these should be treated in order with No.1 being the most important thing that needs fixing for the game to be playable in a better way.
1.
Please add the fielder radar (to help both the bowler and batsmen know where the fielders are). I appreciate you going for a realistic approach with having the batsmen look around, but it just doesn't work in a 2D Plane. Perhaps if the game was in 3D and we then had a real sense of depth we could see all the fielders. But at the moment neither are we given enough time (it times out after a few secs) nor are we able to see the fielders on the boundary (doesn't matter which uniform they are wearing t20, odi or test). I also find it a waste of time having to keep looking.
If people don't want the radar then please add it in the menu to enable or disable it.
2.
Make the fielders miss the stumps more, even throws to the wicket keeper results in direct hit first and then the ball goes to the keeper.
I would also like to see more over throw chances, at the moment it never occurs as the ball is a direct hit 90% of the time and 10% straight to the keeper/fielder. Ive never seen the throw go over or away from the person standing at the stumps.
3.
Tweek the Broadcast camera slightly to an angle more towards a birds eye view, but not obviously fully into it. This is for when I'm batting. I want the same camera angle that is used in Ashes/cricket 2013 game (or whatever the last game was called?!).
Thats all i can think of from the top of my head at the moment, if you could fix these issues in the first patch it would be truly amazing, and would help make the game a lot more playable/better.

Please if you could also remove the Red Circle around the ball when its been played into the field. It looks horrible, also if the ball is rolling across the ground the red circle goes half way through the floor. I have turned off all HUD indicators in the options screen, such as Aerial Marker, Landing Mark and trailing ball. But still the Red circle appears.
5.
The batsmen should react/fall down/get hurt by the ball when it hits them on the body.

In a T10,T20 match when the match has ended with both teams on the same score, a Super Over should be played!!! This does not happen. Instead it chooses a winner and says "WON ON COUNTBACK". Please give us the option to play the super over instead of Countback, as it makes the match much more interesting!
SIDE NOTE:
I have played the game for about 25 hours now or more. Im still to start on career mode. Ive only been playing international matches, friendly and some cups. Nearly all my matches have been either T10s, or T20s.
I started playing on Amateur then found it that i was winning too easily so decided to move up to next level (which i think is Pro?), however since then i haven't been able to win a single match (CPU wins easily)
In batting i can only ever get singles,doubles and the occasional 4. However, i can never seem to hit a 6!! and even 4s can be way to hard to come by. I find my bowling at this level perfect though and even the CPU batting is spot on.
I find that Amateur is too easy and Pro is way to hard. Wish there was a difficulty level in-between the two so that i could play some close matches.
----------
has anyone else had extremely fast out fielders. i hit a fairly flat ball over sqare leg and the fielder ran from long on to catch it.
Yes sometimes i find on Pro difficulty level that the ball can stay in the air for ages and then always a fielder comes around to make a catch on the boundary.
