This got a 5 from me.

The crop has a lot of dead space in it that do nothing for the photo. The image also seems to lack sharpness in the subject. You could have easily cropped behind the player some and just to the left of the ball. I can't say anything about the game as I have no idea of how the game is played to know if the play is an important one or not. If possible you might have moved to your left to try and get the tree out of the background.

Good shot. Surprised you could get the ball in the same frame. Generally in cricket the ball flies away very fast. A little blur though. 7/10.
