...well, for me at least! Only able to shoot for about three overs as there were a couple more pressing jobs to be attended to... but here are a few offerings of a cricketing nature...

Sorry you had to leave so quickly. I hate it when work interfers with my leisure time :-(
Good capture of the intensity on their faces.

Nice shots, I forgot about that sort of cricket, I was expecting little beatle like creatures.

*lol* No little creatures here... just men in whites with red balls!

Cheers Pete... For these I popped the 2x extender on the 300m f/2.8L - just about right for this venue...

The guy in no. 3 looks like Fat Gat (Mike Gatting) :D


Love the last one with the guys pushing the site screen.

There is a resemblance to Gatting I have to agree! This guy seemed to get on well with the umpire though...

Cricket lends itself to shooting other types of shot (like the sightscreen pic), because there's plenty of time between balls and overs... always makes it a great pleasure to photograph.
