Some very good and remarkably clear pictures in there. I think you need to rename 319, a very tired looking Curtley-Jack White, as opposed to Justin Broad.
Curtley I presume means at least one of his parents were fond of cricket.

What's a bit annoying is that I had a good shot of Justin Broad ready to use, but I rejected it because I had already 'done' him.

On the clarity of the photos, I have made a stride forward this summer with a changed autofocus setting. After getting frustrated by photos with pin-sharp advertising boards, but out-of-focus players in front of them, I took the trouble to watch a few instructional videos. In this match, I started with my 70-200mm lens, looking almost directly into the sun. I really should have moved, but I was sitting with friends, and that is more important than the quality of the photos in the final reckoning. Also, the Howard Stand is freezing. Later, I reverted to the big and heavy 100-400mm zoom, which gets better results, but needs a support, because of its weight. I am now using the smaller lens for rugby, and loving it. www.flickr.com/photos/forwarddefensive/53981422480/in/album-72177720320143662/

The instructional videos have paid off I think that set of photo's is the most natural I can remember.
I've promised myself a quiet couple of hours going through the season and your photo's will help to bring it all back.
Thanks for sharing your efforts.

Quality pix DM. Wharton's bat looks a mile wide ... but it must have passed the bat gauge test!!
