Just a few cricketing shots from this weekend's dash around the grounds:

When the pressure's on, it can get pretty crowded out there...

Defending those stumps...

Getting under the bouncer...

A successful appeal...

Awesome shots. I love 4,5 and the last one.
Looks like an interesting sport.

Your criket shots are just getting better and better, and I thought they were pretty much perfect to begin with!

Do you still play? or have you played in the past?
It takes a lot of knowledge of the game to capture that sort of action. (and a little luck Im sure :) )

Cheers cgratti! It's certainly not seen as a weird sport here in England... although baseball might be classed as slightly bizarre! ;)

its fun to play, and the big matches get pretty darn wild...but the everyday games of cricket i find extremely dull...

Thanks Moppie... it's been a (good) few years since I played seriously... but I guess a little knowledge of the game helps you work the angles better. As the fielding positions change, I will often adjust my shooting position to maximise the chance of catching the action... sometimes I get it (very) wrong... and (frequently) luck comes into play as well!

Man throws ball.

Man with bat hits ball.

Man who hit ball runs.

Sound familiar? hahahaha
