Cricket Mania

Cricket fever sweeps over Pakistan faster than Malaria or any other epidemic. Having won 1992 Cricket World Cup, the nation stakes its pride on any game that Pakistan plays, particularly against arch rivals India. Streets are actual breeding centers of world class cricketers. Street cricket is thrilling, rough, gritty and very competitive. Many players do not afford to buy stumps, so they use various items instead. Here, a reed basket is being used in place of stumps.

AWESOME! Excellent timing. Love the scene and subdued colors. Adds a lot to the atmosphere.

Perfect timing!A very nice shot!Regards.

The stance and the intensity on the face of the young man as he focuses on the arriving ball is priceless;in his head,at this moment,he is about to expedite the ball out of the park and the whole stadium will rise to cheer the winning hit.Boys have dreams and you seized a fine one here.Bravo for an excellent image.....going to my Favorites folder.
