Ponting belts another six

    Australia are in trouble at 3/10 when Ponting decides to smash a couple of sixes. He went on to make 124 - his highest score in an ODI at the SCG.

    2nd Final of the VB Series - Australia v Sri Lanka.

      nice shot
      which lens did u use?

    2. nellistc (77 months ago | reply)

      Thanks, 90-300 lens - it's pretty decent considering it was one of the bonus lenses that came with the camera.

      Nice picture, Ponting is one of my favourites. BTW, do you mind releasing this image in Public Domain or GFDL. Why I ask is because at wikipedia, they need something like this.

      Hi neelistc, thanks for allowing the image to be used. But to make sure humanity does not progress too fast we created bureaucracy and licencing and copyrights etc. Since things do not work in good faith alone. You mind preferably uploading the picture to wikipedia yourself OR changing the licence of this image to " Creative Commons Attribution2.0"

      You can read about the licence here creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/
      and read the talk here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cricket#Batsman_hi tting_ball...

      Just in case you dont know how to change the licence - click 'change' on the left side of the "some rights reserved" text. The on the next page on the left of the blue "save settings" button there must be a link 'Modify?'. Click and choose "Attribution licence".

      I am sorry, but there are hassles :-)

      Must add, oh I love Ponting. :-)

      Licence has been modified. Feel free to use the image :)
