I agree with this, with so much waiting about in this game a little more effort to make everything a bit more interesting would do wonders, a spider graph at a 50 and a 100 could be expanded upon so much more.
I'm not too keen on the idea of a manager mode, but I would like to see some sort of management aspects, players getting moved about in the order, players being dropped, regen players breaking through. In match discussion with your partner/captain would be nice too, your captain advising you to bowl a certain line, pepper a player with bouncers or you being told to rotate the strike or telling a tail ender to reign in their attacking instincts.
