Keeping in mind I'm no expert (and this is for general core strength, and you're not suffering some kind of injury) the back extensions shown and the "flying dog" look rediculous to me. The other exercises looked good.
Other exercises to look at would be deadlifts (all different types; conventional, sumo, romanian, dimel, off pins, standing on a platform, etc), goodmornings (again, different variations), hypers, reverse hypers, 45 degree back raise, side bends, saxon side bends, hanging leg raises, decline situps (with or without twists). You can probably find video of all these on youtube. If you can't, let me know and I'll try and find one.

cricket, in an A B routine do you reckon good mornings are a good alternative to deadlifting for a second time?

It all depends on the whole routine, but yeah, goodmornings are deffinatly a solid replacement for deads.

Just to add to this, front squats, standing overhead presses and overhead squats are also good for core strength and stability

'Core strength' is an umbrella term for many qualities and functions.
If you're just concerned with physique then you don't have too worry too much and just stick to the simple strength and 'basic', 'health' type movements. If you're and athlete then you have to turn you attention to strength, control, stability etc. Usually this is done as part of the specific training routines used but specific work is only usually done when there's a problem (loss of form, injury etc) but this is changing thankfully.
You can get someone who has strong core muscle and move or push them around around like a rag doll because they have no control. This lack of control carries over into function.
P.S. Flying dogs etc have their place.
