Langeveldt's Photographic Ashes

[Langeveldt]

Something a little different maybe.
I was fortunate enough to photograph both the Australian and English teams in my lifetime and this game gives me the same feeling to be honest. I've had a superb day one, bowling as both teams, veteran (hard bowling), on a typically dry, hard, Gabba pitch. Sliders all default except pace bowling speeds are 70, 70.

Enjoy. England 211/4 at tea on the first day.

I was thinking we needed an 'Ashes Porn' thread where any awesome videos or images go. Almost a week later I am replaying great shots and wickets over and over. There's a lot to be done to make this game perfect but there are definitely some special moments. Awesome photos!

Yeah that is what I intend to happen. I had an IRL photo of I think it's Brad Haddin and the Keaton Jennings thing reminded me of that, so I went and created this thread.

I would love to promote the game with "Cricket Porn" - Maybe start an instagram account.



More to follow later.

The best thing about that dismissal was the ball after, a full inswinger which trapped him LBW in front. A classic setup

Brilliant!

Thirteen minutes left in the game on the evening of day five. I've waited 21 years to have a test match like this in a cricket game.

Bowling as both teams, Veteran, Hard bowling, Dry pristine pitch, 1.05

Only negatives?

Not quite enough nicks (but that could be down to pitch and two strong teams)
Five dismissals in the test pulling and sort of looping up to short leg with a nick. A bit of a strange dismissal to have so much.
Poor running to deep fielders (so I stopped using them)

Brilliant. Lyon and Hazlewood put on 50 for the last wicket at the end. I was so nervous I could hardly bowl. Had two jump out of seats and punch the air moments with the dismissals of Smith and Renshaw in the second innings.
