I like the first of these (although that car is a little distracting - wondering is a little darkening might reduce that?)

#1 is nice but it's strange how he is not looking at the ball? Agree with the bokeh. My suggestion is to blur more and clone out the car.

Agree but not too worried about the background as i might normally be. I shot them with a loaned lens with a 5.6 min. aperture. Cricket is difficult re exposures as the whites blow out in the sunlight if you expose correctly for the face and face too dark if dialled back for the cricketing whites. These are -1/3 stop and still a bit blown. Thanks for the comments.

The shot is an instant after connecting with the ball so he's doing what a good batsman should do and keeping his head down while he follows through. :wink:

Looks like he is driven it or glanced it on the leg side?? or maybe a mishit?
