First of all we'd like to say a big thanks to the community who have provided us with invaluable feedback on the game so far. We're so happy to bring you this first update to cricket club! So many of the changes included in this update have come directly from the points you raised here on the community hub.

- Improved the way fielders reach for the ball when catching & fielding
- Added a bunch of new fielder poses
- Fielders now sometimes drop catches based on how difficult the chance is
- Close-in fielders will now duck for cover if the ball is hit hard in their direction
