Nicely observed mate. I watched it again and noticed the same. The sound of the bat varies significantly depending on the shot offered. Sounds of the defencive shots and miss timed shots are pretty much improved and sounds realistic.
There is an extend to which you can talk about Nets and Player cards.
I like the font used in player cards..
Still think it could be better but hey, the sound in these games hasn't been the best (bowled sound I'm looking...listening? to you
) 
4 year old game and the amount of detail is just amazing. We can only dream of a day when cricket game will be of this quality.MLB The Show is a game I often end up mentioning when talking about Cricket games, mainly due to the baseball/cricket similarities. Granted there's a significant gulf in resources available between the two developers, but it's a window into where cricket games could go given the time and money.
A few years ago, maybe more now in fact, Sony revamped all their ball physics. Hitting fly balls used to be a case of ball would leave the bat at point A and apart from the arc of it rising and falling, it would arrive at it's destination.
They changed that to put all sorts of stuff for the curve and dip that can occur on the ball in flight, wind as well, and now no two shots are ever the same.
The amount of variation you can get from at bats, a pop up that really dips due to the top spin. Grounders that move laterally on first bounce due to the spin off the bat, fly balls that draw or fade in flight, like a golf shot, due to the angle of contact.
That would be cool to see, but ultimately, is a long way down the list of priorities
---EDIT---
Just to avoid the double post, here is the video I meant. Check out the first 1 minute 10 of this (and stay for the rest if you're interested in other things that Sony worked on that year:

Also, couldn't remember how long ago this change was, and now I see it was for 2017 I feel old haha
350 batting stances and 300 pitching motions !
BA were never close to any of the details that Sony had in MLB games.
