A Scrapbook Match

The Pakistan boys can fold that one up and tuck it away in the scrap book because it is one they will look back on with a smile in years to come.

The Next Big Thing?

Yasir Shah, the latest big threat to batsman.

Victory Salute

"Yes Captain"

Back And Bouncey

Mohammad Amir - older, wiser and still very dangerous.

Boom Boom's Last Big Bang

Out Of Step Sami

Beware the Ides Of March...

... and any cricketer wearing green with a gold star.

Afridi Triumphant

It is only fair to show Afridi in his glory if I am prepared to show him struggling with smelly socks.

I am still picking Sri Lanka to win the World Cup but the enigmatic green machine is starting to look like a very real danger to the big boys.
