August 8 2004:
Cricket

Windlesham, Surrey

I’m sure you’ve seen other cricket shots from PaD photographers, for example those taken by John . With the English football season now just under way, I thought I’d better have a crack at some cricket photography myself before the season disappears. OK, the evening light was not brilliant, but it was OK for some practice shots.

Here we see a batsman ‘take flight’ as he prepares to play the ball

Now I want to find out how this is played. Love the feet off the ground.

Ray I like this image. Great action and it is dramatic.
Cricket? Glad you guys have it and we don't ;-)

Well done, Ray. I'm with Gayle. I hope to see a cricket match someday.

I have NEVER seen someone dressed for cricket. From the thumb I thought this was some weird space suit. Thanks for educating me.
