Fluid Action

There are no straight lines in nature and very few in a ODI.

Thanks to Cricket Tragic for putting us on the this image. Now what I really want to play with are some cricket images you have generated during the long, hot summer. If you have a great pic of your best friend scoring 321 in the backyard send it along and I will attempt to immortalise the moment.

Cricket Surreal

Cricket in the dark at the Oval - it is beautiful, but it just feels wrong somehow.

Kinda reminds me of childhood backyard games played on dewy grass and illuminated by the back door light.

Local Images

The good people at organisations such as Getty Images have been very good in not grumbling about my flagrant use of their copyrighted images over the last couple of years. Not that I have been making any money off it of course.

They produce excellent photos but they do start to look a bit the same after a while - or perhaps it might be my lack of creativity.

Any hoo, if you have a cricket image or two lying around why not email it to me as a jpeg @martyd and I will see if I can't twist it about a bit for the entertainment of others. All photographers will be gratefully acknowledged on being posted.

Dilshan The Scoop

Dilshan offers his respects to the cricket gods with yet another overhead scoop shot. He better keep praying because sooner or later he is going to wear a big red bullet.

Back In Black

No, not AC/DC, but SB, although I am still hearing rumours about IO'B.

Whatever the letters or numbers I just hope Bondy makes that first step towards being the fully functioning fast bowler we so desperately need.

I'm Excited

And not for the reason you might expect. Much though I love cricket my greatest sporting passion is the NFL. This little darling is a reminder that the greatest show on (astro)turf is about to begin.

She is also proof that cheerleaders do add something to the sporting experience, but they better be spectacular if they are going to take peoples minds of the rubbish happening on the oval.
