Thitd Person Rolling Ball?,

HOW TO GET THIS MOVEMENT AND CAMERA?

So basically I want to do a ball movement and camera like the in the new plants vs. zombies game. EXAMPLE VIDEO: link text

The problem is that I want the ball to roll when moving which automatically changes its axis so my horizontal and vertical input dont move the ball into the directions they should. Also I want to rotate the camera around the ball like in a typical 3rd Person Game. I cant use the ball as a parent to the camera otherwise the camera would rotate like crazy...

This is my movement:

 public class BallMove : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public float speed;
     public float MouseSensitivity;
     private Rigidbody rb;
    
     
     // Start is called before the first frame update
     void Start()
     {
         rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
         
     }
 
     private void Update()
     {
         if (Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") > 0)
         {
             //Code for action on mouse moving right
             transform.Rotate(0, MouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime, 0);
         }
 
         if (Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") < 0)
         {
             //Code for action on mouse moving left
             transform.Rotate(0, -MouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime, 0);
         }
 
         //Press Space to Jump
         if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
         {
             rb.AddForce(new Vector3(0, 8, 0), ForceMode.Impulse);
 
         }
 
         //Press Shift to increase Speed
         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftShift))
         {
             speed = speed * 2;
 
         } else if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.LeftShift)) {
             speed = speed / 2;
         }
 
     }
 
     // Update is called once per frame
     void FixedUpdate()
     {
        
         float vertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * speed;
         float horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * speed;
 
         //Movement when pressing WASD
         rb.AddForce(transform.forward * vertical);
         rb.AddForce(transform.right * horizontal);
 
         //Setting a Speedlimit so it doesnt accelerate infinetly
         if (rb.velocity.magnitude > speed)
         {
             rb.velocity = rb.velocity.normalized * speed;
         }
      
     }
 }

I tried giving both the ball and the camera the same parent and adding the movement to the parent. So the camera rotates around a parent that doesnt roll like a ball and the ball uses the parent´s axis...BUT to add force the parent needs a rigidbody and the ball too otherwise it would not roll. I tried this but the ball behaves very weird and instantly gets pushed to the side disabling all movement. I found out in another blog that a parent and a child with each having a rigidbody cant work out well. I tried a million other things but it didnt work but as you can the in the video it is possible! Thank you for your help!
