Yes, the following videos are from a game that is (or, was) available for purchase. Specifically, from Ashes Cricket 2013, which was released in a sad state and then unceremoniously pulled from Steam.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun has the whole story and also shares this video from Matt Whitehorn:
I’m no Cricket expert, but I’m fairly sure that’s not how fielding is supposed to work. (Luke knows more than I do, and he confirms.) Then there’s this one, also from Mr Whitehorn:
Ha.
I’ve asked Valve and publisher 505 Games for more on why the game was pulled, and to give us a sense of when it’ll be back on Steam. I’ll update if and when I hear back.

Clearly not a bug, this is exactly how England fielded on the weekend/last week 😛
Haha perfect
That’s just not cricket.
My favourite part is in the second video where the umpire keeps trying to hold the other guy’s hand and he spazzes out about it.
Looks like every cricket game I’ve played. Funny. I swear they are still the same animations from the early 2000s…
