On Thursday our son Nathan played a cricket match in Montagu. It was so warm that they allowed the boys to play in their sport shorts !! We won by only 7 runs in the last over of the game Nathan bat at number one which is nerve wrecking to me
Thanx for the kind comments and votes on my Bontebok upload yesterday, taken when we returned from the cricket match.
Have a super Saturday !!

Very well captured sports action shot, Herman, the 1/500 sec. shutter freezing the play so crisply: relief all round when your team won.

How wonderful to see cricket in February, and in shorts, too . A great action capture, Herman, with a fine shadow. Carol

Good action shot Herman , it can be very nerve wracking as a parent my daughter is a judo player so i can empathise totally with what your saying. The bairns take it in their stride though Grin

Been there, done that, Herman. Our daughter opened bat for Essex County girls at various age groups. Wonderful memories and some grand days out.

Needs the ball, or his face, to be an eye-catching image. Caught the moment well but there's no 'oomph' without one of the key sports-photography-requisites (i.e. a ball or a face, when it's a ball sport).

Good catch! Grin Excellently captured image... I never understand the game... apart from rolling the carpet constantly to keep the pitch dry, and the rest of it is talking on the radio. Grin
