One of the reasons this version of Cricket works that much better is the decision to go with an analogue stick batting system. Dubbed the Century Stick, the concept is that it gives you an intuitive way of choosing where to play your shot - you just tip the stick in the desired direction. The degree of tilt you add to the stick influences the power in the stroke, so a gentle lean should theoretically just knock the ball away for a single, where a decided push results in a more forceful drive, cut, pull or hook and so on.

Running between the wickets is still just a matter of tapping the Circle button, where two taps will immediately make your batsmen push for a second run. Because of a permanent PIP display in the corner, you can always see if it's worth the risk. The AI is still extremely accurate in the field - we saw only one dropped catch after a week of play on the medium difficulty - but there are occasions when you get overthrows and fumbles which is good to see.
