 * Oppose I wouldn't know it was a cricket field if the caption didn't say it was. Wouldn't including people playing cricket in the image be better than the backs of people sitting on a bench? Guest9999 (talk) 01:27, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Oppose Unfortunately, as already stated, it does not illustrate the subject sufficiently although it is much better than another picture in the article showing a path between the fields. It is however a very interesting, even disturbing, picture - the shadow makes an fine pattern in the foreground, but also it does put the viewer figuratively in the shadow. Added to that the backs of the figures signify rejection, so the whole image gives a strong expression of "exclusion" and solitude. May be that was not intended but it makes the picture worth another glance. The composition hangs together nicely, but the tree on the left would be better with a trunk Motmit (talk) 13:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
