Cricket's among the very few sports that I have no clue about. It mystifies me, but I kind of like it that way. I think I need one sport that I'm clueless about - I don't know why, I just do. Anyway, a cool pic. Well composed, but very yellow, to my eye. Those vertical red sticks are the wicket, right? The guy throwing is the bowler? And the guy with the bat is a batsman? (except he's obviously not batting just now). And that's all I know. Really. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
