Winners R Grinners ...

... and pointers and clappers. And yes, it should hurt to lose.

A Fitting End

Kallis and Raina, just two of the class acts on show in a great final. Colour and dash, always a good combination.

The Young Middle

Coming at you, wicket in hand, bat at ease and smile at the ready.

Is The Tide Turning?

Raina and Yadav embody the extra energy the Indian side seems to have. It ain't perfect but the side seems to have shaken off some of that "possum in the headlights" look about it. Will be interesting to see if they can back up.

Eye On The Prize

Suresh Raina keeps his eye on the ball, but sadly was not able to do the same with his hands. Result, KP scores a lot more than 1.

Form Is Temporary...

... and of course, class is permanent. So who is this classic shot maker?

Going Both Ways

Dhoni and Raina might be running in different directions but you can tell by the look on their faces they both have the same objective.

Welcome To Bridgetown

Suresh Raina gets a traditional greeting from Ravi Rampaul on Day 1 at Bridgetown

It is a great bit of photography from the Getty crew - those hands tell you everything there is to know about facing the bouncer.

82 and Grumpy

No, not the old geezers in the Members Stand but Suresh Raina, out for 82.

It's not three figures but the way things are developing it could end up the key innings of the test match.

Besides,  bit of scream therapy is always good for relieving stress and helping others to forget the shot you just played.

Race To Raina ...

... and the IPL final.

power and GRACE

Jayawardene and Raina illustrate an interesting point. It seems that raw power will get you 50 something in T20 but batting class seems to be required to make 100.

And yes, McCullum may be the exception that proves the rule.
