'pop' tastic

Ahhh Gav! Your cricket is flawless as always, love that last one! Not something that would happen often at all!!! The boxing is nothing short of simply amazing!!!! Award winning stuff!!!

the boxing shots are quite simply stunning Gav

Very nice Gavin, typically how many shots will you rattle off at a Cricket match

Awesome as usual Gavin. Boxing is not my game but, the photos with the sweat flying are sensational.
Love the nervous smile in the last cricket shot - assume a not out decision?

love your work gav

Excellent stuff (as usual) Gav....

Two very subtle sports.......

There is nothing more subtle than a glove in yer face or the gentle snick of ball on wicket.....

Thanks for sharing....

Cheers Rob! It was indeed an unusual moment... at first I thought it was an attempted stumping, so I was suprised when the batsman was given out as he was clearly well inside the crease. It was only after I had a chat with one of the fielders that I worked out what had actually happened!

Thanks Gary. Yesterday I shot 3 matches and notched up just over 1200 frames. I do 'follow though' (i.e shoot long-ish bursts) quite a bit with cricket as you never quite know when something might happen around the stumps area.

Much appreciated Aust! The batsman was out, bowled (played on). The ball span up off the batsman's glove. The wicket keeper made a vain attempt to catch the ball, missing it narrowly... and the ball came down clipping the off bail! A few more pics below:

#3 is a classic. Great stuff here. You did a really good job keeping the whites in the cricket shots. Anything special done there?

Thanks Trevi... subtlety certainly isn't the name of the game in either case

Thanks CartoonBear. Appreciated. Nothing special going on... just keeping a fairly close eye on the exposure.
