Re: Balls, bails & blunders.
2 and 4 all teh way here. #4 needs that comment though, its hard to discern whats going on without the explanation.
Gotta love #3 for the footy shorts and pads classic  #1, i would excuse him for getting out - check out that dodgy turf pitch!  gerry's photography journey
No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
Re: Balls, bails & blunders.
Very well captured. I bet those weren't the only four you took!

"Gotcha, ya bastard, now get outa here!" ?
There's no room for formality out our ways. One pair of shorts for all sports is recommended attire for the gentleman, all round sportsman.
Hey, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Real men don't play on those sissy, flat, manicured turf wickets. Tough strokes for tough blokes. (sounds like a VB advertisement?)
Thanks and nope. Average a couple of bowled wickets per the hour of shooting i usually give each game but need the luck to go with it. Scream when the stumps are rattled when i'm shooting the bowler at the opposite end or putting Camera gear in the car.  I did the first game on Saturday in whoop, whoop, (the 1st shot above) then drove an hour to do another couple 20/20's. The first innings of the first game was over just as i arrived and i missed shooting a guy getting 2 hat tricks in an innings and a total of 8 wickets to keep the opposition to 38 runs.  Very, very rare and i missed the damn thing, but got a shot of him after the game to use in a story. Another sports gentleman not fussed about formality. This time with all purpose shorts 'and' bonza work-come sports-come-best pub shirt. When we hear "howzat", we hear it in bloody style. My oath, mate.   See, those sissy, flat turf wickets and pretty uniforms don't help ya.
