    A little bit more cricket

    Yep, the cricket campaign marches on too. This chap is a (very) fast bowler for a local senior club called Shenfield CC.

    I was trying to do justice to his bowling action and came up with these two. What do you reckon? I think that the look on his face in the second image tells a story about the amount of effort that goes into each delivery.

    I'll grant you the emotion in the later, but I love the concentration on his face in the first. Nice catches.

    I like, but.....

    I like these images, but they aren't as good as the first ones you posted.
    To me, they just focus on the one player, which I know was your intent, but they just don't have the same quality as the others..
    The facial expressions make these interesting, but there is just something missing.
    The others showed a great insight to these unusal sport( At least to me anyway)

    Maybe the bowlers are inherently less interesting than the bastmen!

    What intrigued me about this chap is that he is just 16 years old and frighteningly quick. I will be watching his progress with interest - maybe when he bowls over the Aussies wearing an England shirt, I'll have a couple of pics of some serious significance.

    I'll keep my fingers crossed!
