Bret Lee smashing the Indians? You had lotsa time to shoot Sachin as well... :D

Anyhoo, I think it would have been nicer if you could have got the crowd blurred lots more, he seems to be blending in with the crowd. If you could some how make he separate from the BG it would be much nicer. Also it would have been much nicer if you had the ball somewhere in the frame. But i understand you did the best you could with your current lens. Nice crop

thanks mate for the reply - yeah i have a couple of shots of sachin - not going to be posting them though hahaha :P

I shot this on motor drive so i got a few of them with the ball but his pose wasnt really glamorous lets say, till the ball had left the frame, just didnt have the same effect to me.

Yeah i think if i had the 2.8 i could get the crowd blurred a little more (or go through and photoshop it) thanks! :)

anyway see u in the 2nd final
