    Nice work Gary! I don't know much about cricket, but I thought the field was round, with the action a long way from the spectators. Good framing and expressions you got.thumb.gif

    How far is it to the boundary? You get 6 runs for clearing the boundary on the fly, right? For baseball, that would be 100-125 meters, depending on the ballpark.

    DJ,

    The field is oval, with the pitch located in the centre. So some boundaries are longer than others, ie. a boundary hit directly down the pitch, is longer than playing a stroke to the left or right of the pitch.

    Grounds can also vary significantly in size, but i am not quite sure of the actual distances.

    Cheers,

    Thanks DJ
    I don,t think it is as far as baseball, it changes from pitch to pitch depending on how much room there is for most shots i used 300mmF4 + 1.4x
