Well, the D300 is the successor to the D200 which I've got, so should be very good for cricket shots. I've taken cricket shots with my 70-200mm F2.8 and if I want extra reach stick a 1.4 or 2x converter on it. A zoom is better for cricket shots, for when the ball is hit towards a fielder near where you are positioned, as a 300mm prime might not get the shot in context.
