Used my 1.4 extender with the 70 - 200 lens. Stadium lights only and had to dodge some serious lightning!

Nice action. I don't see cricket very often. The distance make it less interesting. It's a nice suggestion to use a wider aperture. You'll get more concentration on the players.

This is much better composition and positioning on the field. However I wish it were a bit tighter, need to get you a 300 or 400mm lens! My eyes keep searching for the ball?(is that what they use?) as I feel just slightly ahead of this capture is where the peak of that part of this play occurred.

Great you can see their faces in this and the colour of their kit helps them stand out.

Maybe a wider aperture of f/4 (with the 1.4x) would have helped make them stand out even more by reducing the dof. It would be nice if you could have got in a little tighter (assuming you were not already at full zoom!)
