Anyone else shoot cricket

Good views of a sport I know nothing about.

Nice shots. Here in St. Louis there is a cricket pitch and an active cricket league, it's just like being home in good old Blighty.

I never watch cricket but these are great shots Does it cost you a lot of light to use the teleconverter?

#4...what the heck?

Here's my guess:

He's asking the umpire if the batsman (batter) is out

Holding one finger up in the air means the batsman is out. If the bowler thinks the batsman is out he looks at the umpire for confirmation sometimes shouting "how is thaaaaaaaaaaat!" The photo was in the midst of him shouting the phrase.
