Went out and snapped my first cricket match a few weeks back and just got around to PP'ing them. Took it a bit easy as it was just a trail run to see how my zoom lens coped. I had a chuckle there as one of the outfielders asked me if I was from our local sports rag.

Nice set - pin sharp, nice light and colours!

Put mine to shame. Are a lot of these crops?

 

[Chonga]

Thanks Freester. I was very fortunate with the light that day it must be said. I had to crop each shot but not by a great deal. I was quite pleased with how the lens performed. Next time I will go for more action shots as these were pretty pedestrian.
