sums up cricket in one picture, lol
The last one is like something from one of those flick reels
Depends, I have enjoyed a few days watching cricket with a few bottles of beer or cider. :)

Try playing the game fella.... Id agree with you (shock horror ;-)), But I took up the game late (well into my mid 20s), but its such an enjoyable day out.... even if your not playing. Those pics was taken over a course of 4 hours. The time flew by.... Now I know you seem to love rugby, but you cant p[lay because of a wrist injury (single guys injury ;-))
Give the game a chance fella. Youd be suprised how natural the game comes to a sporting person who likes a bit of pain/injury..... and it certainly keeps you fit if your stuck between 2 people 50+ in the field.
20yrs ago in school, I wouldnt batter an eyelid at cricket, but now, Ive realised its such an enjoyable sport/game & its not only about bowling/batting
same again...
seem to be getting better at this

Thats top notch, excellent
Well bowled, err, I mean photographed! :)
TBH getting that sort of photograph needs luck too.
Some good photos there Egg.
I took some photos at a few matches for a Sunderland based cricket club using my D50 with a 70-300 and I had a D2H with a 70-300 from the School I used to work at. The biggest problem I had really was the background was far too cluttered you dont seem to have got that problem and it makes for some good photos. I also found that I usually ended up missing a few wickets which was a pain, Id fire off a burst of say 5-6 frames a ball and the 7th would be the wicket, doh. Quickly got out of that habbit lol.
Heres a small selection of shots from my pics from the first time I took any photos at the cricket.

I find with wickets, you do have 1/2 a second to fire a snap off, I usually line up the camera & watch the game, you can usually still get the ball, stumps & Bails flying everywhere...
I was watching the game & not looking through the camera when I took that.. Think I may have got it a tad early.
Anyway, heres another
