Like A Bee In Your Boxers ...

... where the hell did that come from?

The Tunnel of ...?

The Mighty Penguin (not currently truely evil) seems very satisfied with his lot in life.

Any thought as to a caption for this image?

The Good Old Days

I was going to do an image of Younis Khan scoring one of his three hundred runs but could not bring myself to do it - afraid I might go to sleep mid picture. So I found myself day dreaming about the days when Pakistan were exciting. Who better to represent the good times, of ability crossed with manic depression, than Miandad himself. Jump man, jump.

Oh To Be In Karachi...

... now that Test cricket is here.
Perhaps a slightly more sporting wicket would have lightened the tone.

Snap!

When the guy has just scored 200 runs it doesn't matter how you catch it, just make bloody sure you do.

Fully Extended

Mahela Jayawardene may have been at full stretch playing this shot but at 400 and something for 3 his team is not feeling a great deal of pressure against Pakistan.

In The Best Traditions...

...of heroic but ultimately futile English sportsmanship, Freddy charges in on one leg and a grimace. Not quite Scott of the Antarctic or the Charge of the Light Brigade but damn my eyes the lad can play in my team any time he wants.

Top Spin

Those cunning spin consultants to the ECB have begun to implement their plan to distract us all from the Standford fiasco. Phase one was the release of photos of the England gals looking together and gorgeous (a common fantasy). Phase two has been to "engineer" a great come back test win against the Windians involving an English spinner taking 5 wickets! God knows what they have up their sleeves for phase three but you can bet it is not arms.

Stanford's Millions, Not His Own?

You can hear the muttering from here.

"It was too good to be true."
"Never trust a wealthy man who is prepared to give away money."
"I always thought he was a bit shifty."
"Shit, what do we do for a sponsor now?"

At least we know he won't be found buried in the Antigua outfield.

Frustration

One of the benefits of being a professional sportsman is that you can take your frustrations out in physical activity. The rest of us just have to snarl at our fellow workers.

An Empathetic Moment

And that Punter is exactly how I feel when faced with the prospect of another "live" commentary by Bill Lawry and Tony Greig.

What The ...

...farce?

I understand some of the political problems but is it not a little ironic that you can provide a twenty20 match for millions of dollars but can't produce a test venue that people can play on. The West Indies Cricket Board looks like the sports equivalent of the Bank of Scotland.

The Slightly Odd Couple

Good to see the dynamic duo inspiring people to stretch their imaginations. Thanks to Moses@beerandsports for tipping me off about this image. Apparently KP has a really tight arse, or so I've heard, but then Freddy does have a really big hand.

A Penny For 'em

Go on.
You know you're good at it.
Leave us a comment with a caption for this little tableaux.

Wide Eyed Youth

Young Callum Ferguson played well at the SCG but may have been a little in awe of the occasion.

Jamaican Pride Mon!

Winners are grinners, and who could deny Usain Boult and Chris Gayle the widest of toothy grins.

For all those about to slag off The England, well, feel free, but don't forget to note that the Windians are a better side than they were a season or two back. To the winner should go the spoils and a fair dose of credit.

High Five For...

... eleven.

51 is a small number, not quite 26, but small enough. That Ashes series is certainly shaping up as a Clash of the Titans.

The Cricket Occult

Gambhir displays further evidence of mysticism in cricket - a power word etched into the bat to bring about success. Which of course it did. Perhaps the Aussies should try tattooing WIN on their foreheads.

For Those Who Wonder ...

... if English cricket has lost its way? This image may proved an answer. Go Mozambique!

Pin Up People

Oh to be young, beautiful, celebrated - and rested.

I have a little conspiracy theory concerning the fall off in the Aussies form. Does it strike any one else that the captain/vice captain seem to have fallen under the spell of alien beings? Bingle's cheek bones are not of this world!

Head Over Heels For Cricket

Just imagine what he might do if Uganda won a World Cup game?

You Be The Judge

Time is relative, space is curved and cricket umpires occasionally inhabit a parallel universe. One thing is a caste iron law of nature though, no one must question an Aussie cricketers integrity.

In the end we all create our own world so view the video and make up your own mind.

A Humble Homage

Time for me to belatedly jump on to another band wagon.
