Description
Every year the cricket team that two of my son's play for gets invited to the Oppenheimer Oval close to where I live. (The grounds are owned and maintained by the Oppenheimers of Anglo American fame!) Yesterday was the yearly match. My eldest, Werner, hit 107 runs from just 64 balls and basically won his team the match. For folks without any knowledge of cricket, this will make little or no sense, but believe me - it is an excellent knock! Here he is walking off the field acknowledging a standing ovation from the spectators. I felt pretty proud!
Thank you for popping and and your comments and favs on my previous upload!
Stay well!
Hugs
Carin xx
This is also my 600th upload - so I am lifting my 'bat' with Werner in acknowledgement and thanks for all your wonderful support!

Fantastic shot and a fantastic achievement, of course you were proud Carin. He deserves all the praise.
Great photo Carin!
Great family pic for your 600th, bet you were very proud. xx
Congratulations on your 600th upload! You can be justly proud of your son! Beautiful image! :)
Well done Werner. WOO HOO !!!!! No wonder you are proud Carin :-) Congratulations with a great son and your 600th upload :-)
I know absolutely nothing about cricket, but anyone who receives a standing ovation after playing in a sporting match must have done a spectacular thing! I'm sure it's an excellent knock, except that I don't have any idea what a knock is, either. :P When you start talking cricket, there's no frame of reference. The entire vocabulary is like a foreign language to me! Nonetheless, it's nice to see Werner looking so happy after his performance. (I'll never get used to how tall he is!) This is an excellent image! It's a wonder you could click the shutter and get a sharp image. I would have been jumping around so much the pic would have been a blur! Congratulations on your 600th, Dierbaar! I'll look forward to hundreds and hundreds more. Liefde baie, druke 'n soene! >:D< :X :* :D
First,...I look into Werner's face and there you are! Second,...I see his expression of joy and understand your feeling proud of him. Third,...WAY TO GO WERNER! Congratulations:) And a happy 600th to you Carin!!!
Fantastic photo and congratulations on you 600th.
WONDERFUL achievement, both for him at cricket and for you with your super pix!
nice shot
Bravo to you and your Boy! Yep that is a superb knock!
Great capture of a very proud (rightly so) man, your son! Congratulations to you for 600 uploads and I look forward to hundreds more
Top notch photo, along with kudos for your son, Werner, after his remarkable scoring feat in cricket, a game I know virtually nothing about, Carin. Cricket to me is an insect that makes repetitive noises at night by rubbing its legs together.
Excellent capture of a proud moment!
Hey, I don't know a thing about Cricket and even I feel proud looking at this! Stellar shot too!
I hope he gave the "I'd like to thank my Mum" speech :)
Werner looks very happy! A handsome young man and a proud Mother is a wonderful reward to give your son. Dana
I don't care how old your kids are, seeing them doing something like this is just the greatest feeling---great shot!!
Excellent!!
I never play but see some on Sports TV, I like cricket & Baseball & Hockey :)
Uitstekend! What a brilliant innings - I hope that you have booked his ticket to Kolkata for tomorrow! Congrats on your 6th century off 1125 balls too! Clive
That is an outstanding batting performance from Werner.107 from 67 balls.sounds like a limited over match.When you see him congratulate him Carin.Also congratulations with your 600th upload and what a capture for this milestone. This one is a favorite.
Well, I'm English and I know Cricket and that IS a really good going! Professionals? Take note! And 600! Really good going Carin, and a brilliant one to post for it, well done! Rob
Cricket not quite my cuppa tea either, (it's big in OZ as well) but the joy of winning, your son there and you on the photographic front - is just amazing and should definitely be celebrated ... Well done, Carin and congratulations BB
