I agree, if you whack a batsman say five times they get taken off injured, or maybe they should make it you have to hit them in a certain spot bang on (I'll let you figure out the spot for yourself) they get taken off injured.
Commentators - not repeating the same thing over and over like in previous games.
There should be opening statements from both captains before the game, maybe saying how confident they are, the pitch report etc.
Speaking of pitch report they should go to a pitch report with Tony Greig.
He also tells us whether it may rain soon or not and how warm or cold it is.
Of course all these different commentary features can be toggled on/off.
And can we please have Tony Greig and Bill Lawry opening with the commentary, just like in the old days. Commentators should be changed every five overs so it keeps the dialogue fresh, innovative and most importantly, interesting.
A possible commentator lineup can be...
Richie Benaud and Mark Nicholas
David Gower and Ian Bishop
Bill Lawry and Tony Greig
Michael Slater and Jonathon Agnew
Another big ask would be for photo realistic grounds, crowds, scoreboards with the choice of Foxtel, Channel nine sports or SkySports logo, photo realistic players and likeness (this would be hard to get the rights for)
Another great thing they need to bring back is the classic match section like in BLIC05. But with classic ASHES moments from 80's 90's and recent ASHES clashes. But not the ones where you need 50 off 9 overs to win, lets play out a whole final innings just to keep us on our toes to give us a challenge.
Another thing they could add in there if you beat the challenges you unlock certain things along the way such as pics and little videos, maybe unlock classic ashes sides from the 80's or 90's then we can play whole test matches between the two. It would be great controlling Boonie and even bowling as Botham.
Lastly, I think we need an autoplay feature where you can actually watch the match be played out by the game engine. Great for those days when there's nothing on, sit back and relax with a tinny and watch the cricket!
