Cricket... in grey, blue, brown and red...

Not a white kit to be seen... just some random, recent gubbins...

Leaping high to field behind the stumps...

Hot dammit man, they are great shots. Love how virtually all the shots capture some form of emotion. As usual, great captures...

Baseball with flat bats!!!??

haha....j/k

Very nice pics

…and there were those that said that ‘pajama cricket’ would never take off.Some great action shots,it must be a pleasure working with a mkIII at iso 2000/2500

Beautiful shots, as usual, Gavin, but I will NEVER understand that sport. I read a writeup on some big cricket match on SI.com the other day, and it was so confusing my head literally exploded!

Great shots Gavin, perfect timing catching the bails flying

Very nice Gavo.... which lens do you use for these? My 400 just does not have the reach on my 1D MkII N....

Cheers,
Barry

Perfect as usual Gavin. Are any of you angles set up as remotes or are you with them all the time? I'm not planning on stealing them I'm just wondering if remotes are even worth considering for Twenty20 games.

Wow, great as always. One question (being from America and having watched cricket maybe once): what is an appeal?

When a bowler bowls the ball, he is aiming to knock the bails from the stumps whether or is a fast bowler or spin bowler this is their aim.

However when a batsman attempts to play the ball (hit it/block it etc.) but misses the ball and it (the ball) then strikes the pads the players from the fielding side 'appeal' to the umpire for LBW. Leg Before Wicket.

It is up to the umpire to decide whether or not the ball would have struck the stumps. If he decides the stumps would have been struck, the umpire will raise his index finger and the batsman will take the long walk to the club house! if the umpire shakes his head the bowler starts over again and the batsman lines up again.

Do you know how to see the EXIF? If not, and you have a PC, look up Opanda as an add-on to Firefox or IE.
