Can you adjust the angle of the machine to simulate fly balls or grounders? In other words, use it for fielding practice?

Yes. It tilts up, down and sideways to throw curves. You can shorten the rear leg to throw flys. It only goes to 60mph, so it's not as fast as off the bat.

Hi. Does this machine work to practice Cricket and what will be max speed?

This machine works great for Cricket and the balls to use would go up to 60mph.
