 Stitched photo (2 original photos) of Kowloon Cricket Club
 
 

 First of 4 "action" shots - all taken with full zoom and then cropped some more...

England's Matthew Maynard manufacturing an interesting shot....

 

 

No. 2:- The Kenyan batsman strikes out.... 

 South Africa hit out...

 

 

 how was he not bowled?!!

 It wasn't non-stop cricket and beer for the whole two days - the Bollywood ladies saved us from that!

 

 

 and again!....and...

 Three of the local ladies' favourite - Ryan Eagleson

 

 

 no.2

 and striking out again

 

 

 first of 3 successive photos

 and the 2nd - just as he's clean bowled

 

 

 and then as the stump cartwheels away...

 Kenyan batsman in an unorthodox position...

 

 

 and 1/5sec later so are his stumps!

 The future of English cricket looks to be in safe hands....

(see the yellow ball at the top of the picture)

 

 

 ....in safe hands....

 ...and....out of safe hands!!

 

 

 ....and finally on the floor!

 ...but England still ended up winning the competition very easily overall.

 

 

 Last ball of the first day went for 6 just over our heads and missed this chap's head by inches - got this photo just as his state of shock subsided!

 First of two photos from the Happy Valley race meeting - this one looking up the finishing straight.

 

 

 and this one as they cross the finish line - judging by my success, mine is the one just off the right of this photo!
