Love cricket. Love this shot. I do a lot of sports photography during the season for these guys: nbls.co.nz. Some great action shots to be found in the game pics. Check them out if you get a chance :)
I think that the idea is good but the shot isn't good. the white poles on the background are distracting. I think that if you move the ball far away the poles and a better position of the ball in the frame here to have a very good image. there is even a small over exposure on the left of the ball. I rate 4.
Best regards
