Nice shots there.... great angles in all of them! Really captured the action.

Shane Warne got his 600th out today didn't he?

AS an Ex Pomme, I love all the shots, shows England has finally got a team together. Has the Australians domination of the sport began to fade into the twighlight zone. We can only wish. Excellent work. Ernie

"shows England has finally got a team together".

I am still waiting for the West Indies to return to power! Might take a while.

Nice shots though. I love the composition of the first and the action caught in the others is great.
