Very nicely timed shots. Did you pre-focus, or use sports mode?

Thanks Al
Using continious fucus in speed priority mode as the light was changing constantly due to cloud, the aperture would fall to 2.8 when the light was at its lowest. With the camera on the mono pod, breath out holding everything as still as possible and rattle off three shots as the batsman would spring into action.

Apart from a tiny wee bit of sharpening and slight adjustment in contrast, the pics are pretty much how they came out of the camera.

Not as crisp as I'd like, my Kingdom for a fast 600mm lens $$$$$$
