Six frames a second of Andrew Flintoff in despair will make you money

You think MCC members have it easy when it comes to watching a Test at Lord's? Think again

What do you get when you combine a legendary Test cricketer's cap, a two-year-old and some pink zinc cream?

In Antigua, a cheering spectator makes for more interesting photos than the action on the field

Philip Brown mulls over the anxieties a photographer faces when a player approaches a ton

Two photos from the Brisbane Test, taken at (nearly) the same instant, produce two different effects

A photograph from the previous time Philip Brown snapped Sachin Tendulkar, in tribute to the great Indian sportsman who'll soon be retiring from the game

The Ashes - I take it you've heard of them? Well the first Ashes Test match begins in (checks Sherlock Holmes style timepiece) roughly 97 hours

I remember that it was a particularly silly day at Edgbaston in 2003 when England played South Africa. Towards the end of the day I was asked if I was going to cover the Nasser Hussain press conference.

I covered the entire Ashes tour of England in 1989 and I hadn't looked at these photographs since that time.

In the 1990s I worked a lot for the Daily Telegraph newspaper and during the summer covered quite a lot of county cricket

I remember my first encounter with Shane Warne, in 1993, when Australia were about to play their first match of the Ashes tour against an England Amateurs XI at Radlett, just north of London

I'd never visited the UAE before January, so I was very happy to go and cover three Pakistan v England Test matches there

I've just spent three weeks in Sri Lanka for Reuters, covering the World Twenty20. It was hard work but really very enjoyable

My first trip to India to cover cricket was in 2006. I went as a freelance photographer and that meant for the most part I had to try and shoot photos from positions away from the agency photographers

I've decided to jump on the Andrew Strauss bandwagon. He retired from all professional cricket just last week

It's high time I attempted to bring Shot Selection right up to date. Some of the photographs that I've featured recently are over 15 years old so I thought I'd choose a shot from the last couple of weeks

In 2007, I headed to Sri Lanka for the England's three-Test series. It has always been a favourite place of mine to photograph and watch cricket

Luck sometimes plays a huge part in photography. You can have lots of skill, knowledge and experience but sometimes you need elements that you cannot control to come together
