I have been saving this for a few days.
It seems to a humble observer such as myself that the quality of the cheerleaders mirrors the cricket in the IPL.
Aren't those dancing girls just so in keeping with a classy event like the IPL?
Kamran Khan comes up with yet another unique way of propelling a leather ball quickly over 22 yards.
Pakistan are back and as otherworldly as ever. When it comes to space cadets Shahid Afridi is a ranking officer but there is no arguing with 6 for 38.
Good to see Yashpal Singh putting his body on the line for the cause, or do they get paid by the catch?
It is great to know that out there on the county circuit is a loose cannon just waiting to scream at any batsman coming within his gaze. Now if we could get a few batsman to retaliate they could increase the price of admission.
Not the greatest shot in the world but being there is everything.
We can only hope that "Farmer" Giles is providing fielding practice for the inevitable top edge. If he is demonstrating an actual cricket shot I would be even more surprised than he seems to be.
...now that spring is here.
Forget about a whole bunch of twenty20 knees ups I can't wait to see how well this fella bends it in dear old blighty.
Something about this photo of The Big Jesse has been bugging me. Who does it remind me of? I think I have cracked it.
Perhaps Ian O'Brien is not alone in being the victim of unfounded rumours. Nathan does seem a little precious himself in this shot.
... where is Ian's other hand?
" I knew him well Molesey. We spent a lot of bloody time together watching the cricket!"
One up with one to play, man is that bat going to get even wider over the next five days.
Straight back.
