I don't favour 3D for this version of Cricket Coach. Instead, there can be a lot of 2D eye candies or enrichment in it. Like loads of details in the game;
* Photo flashes when a wicket, boundary, six or a celebration happens.
* Waves of the flags and little crowd with jerseys of the team or colour representing the team.
* Shadows of the Clouds moving over the ground.
* Sun and Lights factors.
* Changing of Shadows by direction of the Sun and realistic shadows during the night.
* Sprites of Stadiums in Bird View in the Gameplay. (It's possible)
There are a lot of ideas, so 2D would give cool flexibility for people to edit and implement new things for and into the game.
