Oh and keepers need to start putting helmets on when standing up!

[ashhh]

I understand a few of these could be beyond budget/ hard to implement but thought I'd give some input

Would like new commentary but I also understand that may be difficult on the budget, but new crowd noises? I'm used to them now but the noise hurt my head for the first 30 minutes or so

Not a feature but the default field settings especially in ODIs are shocking and need re-visiting. Last over of the game and on fully defensive it's a 9-1 field with a short leg and a short cover? Not a fan of it being a 90's sort of defensive field with just bowling as wide as possible. Mid off and mid on very rarely seem to go back either when it's a very prolific scoring area.

Would be nice to see the reverse sweep shot added which is now even a viable test match shot, and see fast bowlers use slower balls + slow bowlers quicker balls in the shorter formats as variation to specific bowlers who are famed for it. Maybe add a bowling option to hint to the bowler to then bowl more variety or less so you can approach the scenario better.

Fielders attempting more run outs at the bowlers end if that is the closest side as only ever seen this happen 2-3 times over years of play. The stumping keeper animation needs tweaking a bit too as it's not smooth at all anymore, and as a similar point when players come down the wicket (I think thats what they are doing?) you can't really tell they're doing it with their footwork. Smoother running animations of batsmen between the wickets and fielders would be nice too, though not sure how difficult this could be.

I've really enjoyed how in International selections individual formats save the last team used, so maybe we could go a step further and add a shortlist for each format? There are players I like to keep my eye on for future selection who don't merit a 12 man squad slot so if I don't select them come the next series it is all down to my memory of that player. The same sort of thing for First class careers as players to tag to follow their progress which could really help build your squad come the transfer window.

Some extra financial control in first class would be fantastic too. Increased crowds due to bigger 20/20 signings + more sustained numbers due to first class table positions to add to the end of season budget? I've had several files that have run through 20 seasons and I've never really understood how the finances are generated. I'm not sure how you could approach this but I'd like to see ways that I can maximize that budget somehow and not feel limited by preset numbers.

And the ability to join a new county at the end of the season

I don't expect any of these and trying not to sound like a knob!

I saw that in-game England's T20 kit is actually the blue ODI one and not the orange/red one so was wondering if you'd ever have three kits for teams that have one for each format.

Not sure how common in the County game (and overseas domestically for the versions of the game where you can play all 3 formats for one team) but Yorkshire definitely had three last year.
