When batting you get to see where the ball will pitch and can move your batsman into position. When you select the key for your desired shot nothing seems to happen until the ball has passed or more often hit the stumps and then your batter plays the shot. The graphics are pretty poor. You get a closish view for bowling which changes to a more wide open view if the ball is hit. The shot speed and direction often don't match up when the view is switched.
Fielders throw the ball back at the stumps at the speed of a bullet.
The animations are jerky, the ball stops suddenly rather than coming to a gradual stop. The commentary is very repetitive. Nearly every time the ball is hit it is a magnificent or excellent shot. This is v2.0 of the Howzat World Cricket Quest. I can not imagine how bad v1.0 was.
