Hi, I was sitting in the stands and took this photo on a Pentax Digital Isd... kitted up with a 200mm lens.. running pretty fast. Do you think it's a worthy shot?

Those yellow things are called "stumps".. a bolwer throws the ball at about 100 miles an hour towards those stumps. The batsman is out of his crease (see the foot), so he is in peril... he tried a sweep shot into the background, but missed... and instead got hit in the face.
The cricket ball is white in one day Matches because it is played into the night... and players only wear coloured clothes in one day matches. This Pom got clobbered... but they won the match. They lost the test series 5-0 for the first time since 1920's.

I don't know a thing about this (is it cricket?) but I would prefer the negative space to be in front rather than behind. Is the yellow stob important to tell the story? If not, I would crop it.

It could have been better.
The image looks soft. Sharpness could have been better.
Also, when showing action, it is best to show where the action is going. Like in nature photography, you have open space in front of where the animal is facing.
Same with sports. It just looks weird having the batsman swinging into nothingness with the wicket behind. Also, if the ball could be in the frame that would help because then the focus would be different.
It's a good thought and a decent attempt.

You've captured the moment perfectly. It's highly dynamic. I especially like the yellow post on the left; it adds to aesthetics (Don't crop it out.).

That is cool. Although the ball looks like a baseball not a cricketball.
