Taken in an empty lot down the road. I have been to see these kids a few times now and taken back shots. Cricket is a national passion in sri lanka and is played everywhere (rooftops to graveyards) whenever possible.
minimal post-processing - burned the ball and selective sharpening.

Very nicely shot layout is awsome, rule of thirds is very easy to find in this picture. The batsman being in focus and the bowler is just the right amount of blur. Depth of field is working well here. Like the way the ball got stopped and the action of the bat.
How's That!! Lovely image. Nothing like those palid high-tech looking cricketers the Brits (I am one) have playing at Kennington these days. Thanks for a great shot, nice depth of field too.
