Gameplay wise, I would love to see these changes in the new version :
-Normal shots don't go in air when timed well. No good player plays drive uppishly
-Soft shots when the stick is only pushed a little.
-Instead of showing length marker on the ball, the length should be written when the bowler is about to deliver the ball, in the same way it is written when we are bowling. I think the whole difficulty with the length picking is making your mind relate colour of marker to length of ball.
-Instead of ball marker telling length, it should tell the type of delivery like slower balls, googly, legbreak etc. Real player can know these by reading the hand but we can't.
-Better tuning of fielders. Though it think this should be fixed in this version only, I don't know if a patch can do it or not. Fielders should act according to speed of ball and their momentum. A wicketkeeper going to his right cannot just suddenly dive to his left. A fast bowler in his followthrough cannot dive around stopping the balls going from the other side. And fielders around the batsman are for edges, they don't catch fully timed drive.
-Realistic batsman with better footwork and some assistance. Batsman should show better footwork and the footwork should depend on his skills. Like a batsman with better front foot skill should come more forward to spinners and actually reach the pitch of the ball. As it is, their footwork is more like tailenders. Also there should be some assistance while batting as we cannot control every aspect of batsman. Like adjusting their hands to swing, jumping for balls at greater height, fishing at swinging fast balls outside off stump if we choose to defend them.
-Spinners getting less flight and more turn and bounce than now. And have various stadiums with their unique properties like same having more turn and some more attune to fast bowling and some just flat.
-Different properties of red and white balls.
-Remove the leave button. If we push the foot stick but not the shot stick, batsman should automatically leave the ball when it is too late to make a shot. Having a leave button requires premeditating the leave so we cannot leave good balls effectively.

Things needed in the next iteration:
- A hud that disappears when running (so those playing on plasmas don't get image retention from the score being always on display in the bottom corner)
- A field map for when you are at the non-strikers end, to avoid those horrible run-outs when you don't know a fielder is just behind you. I know you can look around, but that makes more sense for the striker
- Loads more stats. Seriously, it needs stats for everything. I should be able to look at every score/bowling figures in every game in my career (if not full scorecards). I should show balls faced, boundaries and score for each innings, rather than a global value. I should be able to see overs, maidens, wickets and runs, too. And I should have end-of-season stats.
I've mentioned it in another thread, but International Cricket has much better presentation of these things and it's something that should be simple to implement and track I would think? Cricket is a game built on stats, so I feel a bit let down in this respect.
- Better commentary. I think this has been mentioned as being looked at, but (again) IC2010 had a good mix of commentators who would share anecdotes and have different responses to the match situation.
This is a good game from what I've played so far, but it could be a great game with some tweaks (barring commentary, I think the other things should be easy enough?)

if you post moronic things, in a hyper-moronic size and font-color, then use text-speak and inappropriate emoticons alongside incomprehensible gibberish, i still assume you're a pirate.

Mate Everyone knows who the really Pirates are... Ask from ECB CHAIRMAN who happened to be steal from other teams. But still result was the same.

Well I was until I demanded he resign for dropping KP. That seems to have soured our relationship.

The ball, off the bat, to curve in flight left or right depending on the amount of spin departed on the ball once it leaves the bat, currently it ALWAYS flies dead straight, which is very poor considering the rest of the game (i.e. the bowling and deflections off of the pad or the players body) has got sidespin implemented which affects the path of the ball.
At present the ball only deviates from its initial shot direction once it comes down from the air and bounces...

A few things I can think of;
A variety of bowling actions available for each type of bowler.
Greater control over 'regular' shots - currently every shot except the defensive strokes seems to be an attempt at a boundary.
Batsmen reacting when getting hit by the ball.
More variety in batting animations, so that specialist batsmen having more controlled looking strokes than number 11s etc.
More stadiums (may be possible in this iteration with mods/DLC/updates?)
