I'm not one to come and complain about things and I hope this is helpful and constructive feedback. It is only the first ODI but I still feel that a lot happened that merits feedback and are things that would persist in all matches.
The field setting of the AI had seemed to have largely been resolved on the last patch of DBC 17. But now on Ashes the fields once more feel very aggressive, more often than not with only three men out. At one point in the last five overs a silly point was brought in. This was in spite of the fact that I was going at 10p/o for much of the innings and finished with 401 after 40 overs. Come to think of it, despite the match being reduced it didn't seem that the fielding restrictions were amended (I'll report that). The bowler I'm about to mention had all the men in the ring, after the power play while I hit 3 sixes out of five in a row in one over.
The frustration with the bowler is I hit him out of the game, unfortunately the AI reacted differently. After going for 42 from his first two overs he continued for at least one more. After 4 overs I'd hit him for 71, from there he still bowled another 5 overs. The final figures were 9-1-136-3 (I don't know how I let the maiden happen).
Yes he got wickets but they didn't come until he had conceded 90+ runs by the end of his fifth over, at which point I'd have expected him to be stood at fine leg thinking about what he'd done wrong. There were two other bowlers (all rounders) used for five overs between them. One of them only went for 7.25 - which was the best economy rate in the innings. It's nice to see more bowlers being used but it felt like the horse had bolted. The bowler with next best economy rate only bowled 7 overs at 7.86. There was a third all rounder that didn't bowl an over.
I'm not even bothered that I lost the wickets, although one was a stumping where I seemed to have no control over the batsman after a play and miss, but after that kind of start if I was captain he wouldn't be bowling at all.

That's my the camera I use mainly now.
