Very little of the above isn't already in the game.

As captain you do set the field, you do tell the bowler what line and legnth to bowl, you do change the bowlers to suit conditions. Commenting agout the batsman is adding a bit of flowery talk to:
"Stick it up his nose" ..or "Keep it up" or "Bowl a few wide and see if he'll chase them"..
All of which have the same effect as changing the bowler or bowling options now if you think about it.
If the actual words are important then say them to yourself...get into the game.
As for playing yourself. I've been Worcestershire Captain in ICC2002 for over 100 years (so about 5 or 6 regens then :-)...
It's great, I captain. Imran, Hick, Both, Basil..they are all in the side still (photo's, names and appropriate skills)

I DON'T use an editor, I wait until an appropriate regen comes along then rename him, and give him the correct BMP (My photo is terrible, but at least it has me in my late thirties not my mid forties)
It's easy, and adds LOADS to the immersion of the game. Far better than F Francis bowling to N Nobody with either no picture or a black shadow place-holder.

The England side has had more Devon Malcom's, Bob Willis' and Derek Underwoods than you could shake a stick at. Gooch captains mostly, with Atherton opening with him (if i get a good left hander I give Chris Broad another chance normally)
For me this is why customization -names, pictures etc are vital to immersion.

But back to your point; there's not much in your list that you can't do already (given a little patience) albeit it all works much better in older versions of the game without the mood spoiling lego faced 3d and no BMP's.

Game skipping ? You can skip whole games, or just keep your finger on space when you want to whiz through - skip any more than that and it's called "not actually playing".

Have fun (and use a little imagination) :)
