How dare they! On the other hand, they do help make this a finely composed image. Love the wee stream of water curving round the right-hand side of the "pitch".

A fine English tradition Brian, lol I do enjoy the old form of cricket though, they called them test matches. Playing on such beach must be a test as well. Good piccy.

I actually enjoy the longer five-day tests, three minimum. This one-day cricket is far too exciting, and that's not cricket.

One day is far to colourful as well.

Thanks Rob. Be careful; the English are everywhere!

Thanks a lot, Julian. I should try to understand more about the game; for me the real test is watching it.

I saw the word "cricket" and almost fell fast asleep...who invented such a boring "sport"...?
However, it's cracking image, and I love that grain...did you do this in the developing process Brian or is Neopan 400 inherently grainy...?

Thanks Dougie. With regard to the grain, Neopan is not so inherently grainy. Rodinal is rated as a developer that tends to induce grain. Nevertheless, I may have been doing the Cha Cha Cha when I was agitating this roll.

A fine image old man
and a one that reminds me of an incident in Trinidad which is another country of cricket. A day match at the savannah was going on as I was passing with my camera. As it was a short brake, I ventured into the pitch, lay down to get some good shots of the little action. And as you say, how boring, the game never seem to start again until I realised that from certain spectators my name was called. " get away and leave the pitch uncle Ivar," was the message.
I was a disturbance to the game as I lay smack in the middle of the action, with a 50mm so as to get close to the game. I was not very popular at that moment I tell you.

So slow is this game you never knew you were on the playing field! Classic Ivar!

I think we have a resistance movement on our hands. You can keep your freedom, but you do have to become English and drink more tea.

Most are already English. They proved that in the Referendum.

I reckon you've all got it wrong. That is clearly the Scottish national squad! And they are aiming that the English effigy propped up in the middle!
Love the tones in this, especially on the reflection and the distant hills.
