They need to make a lot of improvements than their previous game international cricket 2010.
Batting
There should be a better range of shot selection and frankly speaking a more REALISTIC shot selection according to the type of delivery. Going on the front foot to a short/bouncer length delivery is ok as the pitch may not have as much bounce left ... but hooking/pulling a yorker length delivery is just plain ridiculous. This is what the problem was with IC2010.
Bowling
The bowling action can be improved i guess. There should be a feature that players with more height get better bounce than other bowlers rather than having all players the same height and weight.
Fielding
Fielding needs to be improved a lot. Outfielders should try and dive at the boundary rather than seeing the ball go past the ropes. Also when the ball is hit it should not just stop dead an inch before the boundary ropes and wait for the fielder to pick it up and throw whilst the batsman run three. The fielders should be able to chase the ball down and if not the ball should go past the ropes rather than stopping dead still.
Online Gameplay
Considering the amount of times players have quit when they are about to lose, there should be a feature that if a player quits the game then not only they lose sportsmanship rating, but also they have a loss on their stats for quitting the game and the other player gets a win.
Also they should fix that annoying bug where the game automatically disconnects due to hitting consecutive boundaries. If the game disconnects due to a connection problem it should go as a tie or a no result on the player stats.
Other
- there should be a lot more variety of options in editing/creating a player
- there also should be an option of where we can manually enable or disable player injuries. I think players being injured just makes it more interesting. Players availability should be according to their injury. E.g if a player while batting got hit by a bouncer than because of that injury they shouldn't be available for a few weeks, whereas if the player just pulled a hamstring while fielding their availability should be much quicker like 4-5 days or so
- there should be an option of taunting/sledging other players and umpire either giving warnings to players or banning them for a certain number of matches.
- considering the game is fully licensed by CA and ECB why don't they have the english and australian domestic seasons with all the domestic teams like warwickshire, surrey, victoria, south australia etc.
- there should be variable types of weather and also rain interruption in games, especially in test matches
- there should be an option to see replays anytime we want and we can also see replays of previous dismissals rather than just showing replays
automatically when there is a 4, 6 or a wicket. Also we should be able to see the replay from any angle we want.
- there should also be highlights of best batting and bowling at the end of the innings.
- also please please please ... their needs to be man of the match, man of the series awards.
- there should be more stadiums and audiences should look more realistic with boos and cheers.
- there should be third umpires for stumpings aswell.
- there should be more types of pitches rather than having day 1 to day 5 type of pitches e.g wet, damp, hard, normal, green, flat etc.
- there should be a variety and range of tours available for example Caribbean Tour, Sub-Continent Tour, Australia Tour, England Tour, Africa Tour etc.
- also for each international team they should have a couple of domestic team e.g. India A, Sri Lanka XI etc.
and lastly they should seek some inspiration from ea sport cricket titles like ea sports cricket 2004 and cricket 2007

Was VERY exciting. I'll second the request for the "super over" to be included.
