I'm sorry but I think this is a hideous picture to represent the sport. What exactly is this, ants on grass? Allthewhile 01:24, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I disagree. It reveals far more about fielding positions and the general layout of the pitch than a close-up shot would do.
I disagree too. It reveals the bowling in progress. vedant (talkcontribs) 21:24, 12 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Copyright edit

The image description says Copyright David Morgan-Mar but is tagged with GNU FDL. What should be done about it? vedant (talkcontribs) 21:24, 12 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

I am David Morgan-Mar. I uploaded the image myself. It's my understanding that I can retain copyright in the image and license it for use by Wikipedia under the GNU FDL. (If that's not true, I'll gladly change it.) Either way, it's not a copyvio, since it's my image and I'm explicitly allowing WP to use it. -dmmaus 22:23, 12 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
