Cricket

Continuing with my self-assigned mainstream sport photography, I went and shot a one-day cricket match between NSW and Tasmania in late November.
It was another first for me as I have never shot cricket before and had previously thought it would be right up there with Golf in terms of being a boring, long day behind the lens. I was wrong, and found it really enjoyable. I played cricket for a few years in my early teens, before skateboarding totally took over my life!
It was a history making game in that David Warner from NSW scored the highest runs ever in a sate match - 165 not out! His innings consisted of nine 6's and 19 4's, beating the previous record of Rick McCosker in the 1981-82 season. Warner has since been called up for the Australian 20-20 and One-day teams and caused a huge media buzz on scoring 89 runs of 43 balls in his debut match for Australia against South Africa.
