When seen from the outside, cricket looks like brief moments of action interspersed with a lot of waiting around. But for fans of the game, the pauses give them time to digest the complex and layered moves they just watched (or time to go fetch a beer, complete a crossword, or take a power nap).In the photo above, batsman Scott Richardson and the fielders wait for bowler Jimmy Ormond to deliver the ball. From the end of every delivery to the beginning of the next, a batsman is usually left alone with his thoughts while the bowler walks back to his mark. The best of them can keep from cluttering their minds with noise, but sometimes the seeds of a dismissal are sown in this time spent alone.In Pretoria, 2005, Karen Rolton (extreme left) and other members of the Australia Womens team sit inside during a rain delay at a World Cup game.

(From left) Footballer Mick Channon, sailor Chay Blyth, boxer John Stracey and footballer Colin Bell didnt have to face Holding and Co in this Superstars contest at Crystal Palace in 1974, but they look understandably jittery while waiting for their turns to bat.The non-striker can end up as a glorified spectator if the batsman on strike is struggling to put bat on ball. But the real spectators are not going to be pleased with you if youre keeping them from watching Brian Lara bat.Sightscreen adjustments often hold up a game, but so can the flight plan of a flock of birds.Off the field, players spend a lot of their time travelling to venues. Here, Frank Tyson waits at the Northampton train station to join the England squad in Australia in 1954.Fans queue up outside the SCG for the 1954-55 Ashes Test in which Tyson took a match-winning 10 for 130. The third umpires decision, and DRS today, briefly blurs the line between players and spectators as everyone on the field and on TV watches what just unfolded and then waits for the verdict.Thomas Meunier Paris Saint-Germain Jersey .
