Are there any other options for cricket video games? Not really.
Can you have a lot of fun with this game? Yes, if you don't mind:
1. Putting 1-10 hours into learning the Classic Pro controls via Youtube
2. Tuning your gameplay settings (sliders) for max realism. Takes some experimenting and Youtube.

- AI Run Rate is a very important one - try 20 for Test matches, 40 for ODIs, 40-50 for T20. This cures the 'over-aggressive AI' problem. (Edit: As of June 2022 you should probably leave this at 40-50 for all formats)
- Tightening up the input timing for batting makes the game more challenging, but also increases immersion as your player moves exactly when you do. If you play unrealistic cricket shots, they will get you out.
- Pace Bowling/Spin Bowling Visual Speed at 70-80 is very important for having the ball arrive at the crease at a realistic time. The defaults are way too slow and make timing unnecessarily hard.
- Resolution scaling allows for smooth gameplay even on lower-spec systems.
- Decent set of community creation tools and players have created a lot of the actual teams, stadiums etc which are must-downloads.

Older reviews mention many bugs which have since been fixed. There are still some problems (e.g. AI fielding is bush league, can't effectively field as a bowler, poor commentary, unfinished feeling cutscenes/training/etc) but the core gameplay is quite compelling for fans of the sport. Bowling is especially good with the right settings. Hoping the game continues to improve.

EDIT: In June 2022 they have continually patched the AI fielding and the on-field product has definitely improved. Sliders are also closer to 'correct' by default.
